Stopping in the middle of the road raised police suspicions about a driver on April 3, at approximately 2:40 a.m. Police were conducting patrols on the Trans-Canada Highway near Alexander Street, when the officer noted the truck stopped for no apparent reason. The officer checked the vehicle and noted that the 51-year-old male driver displayed symptoms of alcohol intoxication.
The man subsequently failed the Roadside Screening Device and was detained. Further tests revealed he was over the legal limit and police are recommending charges of impaired driving. The man was released with a future court date and his truck was impounded.
