A 68-year-old man, who was reported as a suspected impaired driver, was arrested at a residence yesterday by Grand Falls-Windsor RCMP for impaired driving.
Shortly before 7:00 p.m. on Monday, police received a report of a suspected impaired driver. The described vehicle and driver were located at a residence a short time after the report was received. The man showed signs of impairment and was arrested for impaired driving.
At the detachment, he provided breath samples that were above the legal limit. He was released from custody and is set to attend court at a later date to answer to charges of impaired driving. The man received a licence suspension and the vehicle was seized and impounded.
