On January 12, at approximately 2:30 a.m. Charlottetown Police Services General Patrol Unit made an impaired driving arrest. The officer on patrol observed a driver who failed to stop at a stop sign and had also been driving erratically.
The vehicle was safely stopped by the officer, however after coming to a stop, the driver then backed into the marked police vehicle. The officer’s observed signs of impairment were then confirmed as breath samples came back at more than two and half times the legal limit.
The 43-year-old female driver was arrested for impaired driving, and has also been charged with failure to comply with probation (s. 733 CCC).
She was later released and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
