Domestic assault

On Dec. 2, 100 Mile House RCMP members were called to a disturbance at the 7-Eleven on Highway 97.

A male and female were arguing inside the store before an assault occurred. Both parties left the store shortly before police arrived. A plate number had been obtained and was provided to the police.

The parties were located at the residence of the registered owner. A woman subject was detained for domestic assault, transported to 100 Mile House RCMP and held until sober.

A charge of assault is being recommended to Crown against a 22-year-old 100 Mile House woman. The investigation into this matter is continuing.

Vehicle towed

Shortly after midnight on Dec. 1, 100 Mile RCMP were called to the scene of a single-vehicle incident on Horse Lake Road near Mercer Road.

Upon attendance at the scene, the male driver of the vehicle was determined to have consumed liquor prior to the collision. An approved roadside screening device was administered at the scene. The result was a fail.

The driver declined to provide a second sample into another approved screening device. The driver met the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) criteria and he was subsequently issued a 90-day IRP.

The vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days. Driver speed and liquor consumption are believed to be contributing factors to this collision.

Driver extricated

Shortly after 5 a.m. on Nov. 26, 100 Mile RCMP and 100 Mile House Fire-Rescue responded to a single-vehicle incident on Canim-Hendrix Lake Road near Sundman Road.

The male driver of red 1991 Jeep Y J lost control of his vehicle while in the east-bound lane. The vehicle went off the road and into the ditch where it sheared off a utility pole and rolled over.

The driver was initially pinned in the vehicle, but extricated by Fire-Rescue. The driver was subsequently transported to 100 Mile District General Hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation into this collision is continuing. The driver’s speed is considered a factor in this collision.
