Drinking driver
On July 3, 100 Mile Traffic Services stopped a vehicle after it ran the stop sign on First Street at Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House.
The driver was determined to have consumed liquor, and an approved screening device was administered roadside. The result was a fail, and the driver met the criteria and was subsequently issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
He was also issued a violation ticket for driving contrary to restrictions.
Thief busted
On June 30, 100 Mile RCMP members were conducting a patrol on Exeter Road west of 100 Mile House where a suspicious vehicle was observed parked on the side of the road.
The Ford pickup was heavily damaged and had no front plate. Police attempted to execute a vehicle stop and the driver fled back towards 100 Mile House.
Other patrol units responded to the area, and the suspect vehicle entered the parking lot of the Marmot Ridge Golf Course. The driver again attempted to avoid capture by driving over a dirt embankment.
The pickup was determined to be stolen out of Prince George and the vehicle plate was also stolen from another vehicle in Prince George. Charges of possession of stolen property, possession of break-in instruments and possession of a controlled drug have been recommended to Crown against a 30-year-old Prince George man.
