Drinking driver
On May 13, 100 Mile RCMP stopped a vehicle travelling on Highway 97 near Ainsworth Road as it was weaving within its lane while going south up the hill.
The male driver, who was operating the vehicle under a Class 7 learner's license, displayed symptoms of liquor consumption. An approved roadside screening device was administered by the officer and the result was a fail.
The driver was detained and returned to the 100 Mile House detachment. None of the other passengers were sober and were subsequently given rides home. The vehicle was towed.
