A 51-year-old unlicensed driver who had too many drinks is facing charges.
On April 7 at 8:00 p.m., Ste. Rose RCMP noticed a truck parked incorrectly near a motel bar. While the officers were on the scene, two individuals left the bar, entered the vehicle, and began to drive away.
The vehicle was pulled over, and the 51-year-old admitted to having "just a sip" from an open bottle of liquor in the centre console. An Approved Screening Device (ASD) test was taken, resulting in a fail.
The driver is charged with operating while impaired, operating equal to or over 80mg%, driving without a valid driver's license, and unlawful transportation of alcohol in a motor vehicle. The vehicle was also impounded for 30 days, and a court date is pending.
