RCMP Northeast Traffic Services \u2013 Cape Breton (NETS-CB) has charged a man with impaired driving in Sydney River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On September 21, at approximately 11:30 a.m., RCMP NETS-CB responded to a report of a Nissan Altima, which was traveling eastbound on Hwy. 4 from East Bay, weaving on the road and driving too slowly for the conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on details provided by concerned callers, RCMP officers located and safely stopped the vehicle near Sydney River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver of the Altima, a 28-year-old man from Reserve Mines, showed signs of impairment by alcohol. He was arrested and transported to the NETS-CB office where he provided breath samples that registered at 200mg% and 180mg%. He will face charges of Impaired Operation of a Conveyance and Impaired Operation Equal to, or Over, 80mg%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man was also arrested in relation to an outstanding warrant and transported to Cape Breton Correctional Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Callers gave significant details that helped us locate and stop this vehicle,” says A\/Cpl. J. Michael Francis, RCMP NETS-CB. “We had information about not only what road they were on and the direction of travel, but also a unique feature of the vehicle that allowed us to identify it. The information we had from the public was key to getting this impaired driver off the road.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A passenger in the vehicle was not arrested and will not face charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road safety is a priority for the Nova Scotia RCMP. We continue to encourage members of the public to call 911 if they see a suspected impaired driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
