100 Mile RCMP responded to 54 complaints and calls for service during the past week.
Tracks lead to arrest
On Feb. 18, 100 Mile Traffic Services members observed a male driving a grey van just north of 100 Mile House, and they knew the man was prohibited from driving.
The investigators attempted to pull the van over, but the driver refused to stop and attempted to evade the police. The vehicle was tracked into 100 Mile House where it was located parked at a residence on Cedar Avenue.
The driver’s tracks leaving the vehicle were located in the snow. The tracks led to a nearby residence and he was located and arrested.
The following charges are being recommended to Crown against a 43-year-old 100 Mile resident:
• Two counts of driving while prohibited under the Criminal Code.
• Cause pursuit under the Criminal Code.
• Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle under the Criminal Code.
• Three counts of driving while prohibited under the Motor Vehicle Act.
The investigation into this matter is continuing.
Slow driving giveaway
On Feb. 18, 100 Mile Traffic Services members stopped a vehicle on Highway 97 near Keene Road south of 100 Mile House.
The driver was operating the vehicle much slower than the posted speed limit. She displayed symptoms of liquor consumption.
An approved roadside screening device was administered and the result was a fail. The driver was detained and returned to the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment, where two breath samples were obtained of 140 and 130mg%.
Charges of impaired driving and driving over the legal limit are being recommended to Crown against a 34-year-old female Lower Mainland resident, with a court date in May.
