An officer was injured and a female from Dauphin was arrested for Impaired Driving.
On Saturday at 2:05 a.m., Dauphin RCMP stopped a vehicle that had stopped at a business on Main Street in Dauphin. The driver fled the parking lot when officers approached her vehicle and the officer was struck, suffering a minor injury.
Fleeing south on Main Street, the driver made a left-hand turn onto a side street and lost control, hitting a snowbank. The driver, who refused to get out of the vehicle, was eventually placed under arrest. She was taken to the Dauphin Detachment where she provided samples of her breath which were found to be twice over the legal limit.
The 40-year-old from Dauphin faces charges including Assault on a Police Officer, Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Flight from Police, and Operation while Impaired. She will appear in court on March 27.
