RCMP arrest two impaired drivers on the west coast

The RCMP arrested two people with impaired driving within one hour on Saturday.

A 20-year-old woman was stopped in Pasadena after she failed to stop at a stop sign. She was arrested for impaired driving after she failed a roadside breath test. She was transported to the detachment and provided breath samples nearly three times the legal limit.

A 34-year-old man, who had open alcohol in his vehicle, was stopped in Burnt Islands. He was arrested for impaired driving after he failed a roadside breath test. He was transported to the detachment and provided breath samples that were one and a half times the legal limit.

The two drivers received driving licence suspensions and their vehicles were seized and impounded. Both are scheduled to attend court at later dates to answer to charges of impaired driving.
