On January 1 at approximately 3:23 p.m., RCMP officers responded to a report of a possible impaired driver at a business on Sackville Dr., Lower Sackville. The caller reported that the driver of a Hyundai Sonata had bumped into the building and was now falling asleep behind the wheel.
An officer was in the drive-thru line ahead of this vehicle, and, with other responding officers, determined that the driver was impaired by alcohol.
The 28-year-old Middle Sackville woman was arrested for Impaired Operation of Motor Vehicle and later provided breath samples of 340mg% and 360mg%, more than four times the legal limit.
The driver was released from custody to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court on March 17, 2025, and released to the care of a family member to ensure their wellbeing.
