Tip from public helps RNC nab suspected impaired driver
A tip from the public helped police capture a suspected impaired driver in St. John’s over the weekend.
Just before 9 o’clock Saturday evening, RNC patrol officers responded to the area of Bay Bulls Road, where someone reported seeing a vehicle swerving all over the road. Responding officers found the vehicle stuck in a snow bank.
The 50-year-old male driver was arrested and, after further investigation, was charged with impaired driving and refusing a submit a breath sample.
He was later released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
