“Police attended and the truck was still there,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
“Our officers determined the driver was impaired by alcohol.
The officers obtained breath samples which showed the suspect blew more than three-and-a-half times the legal limit.”
Police say the suspect has a history of impaired driving.
A 44-year-old Armstrong man was taken into custody. He was then released on a promise to appear in court July 12.
