Man arrested for operating ATV while impaired

On Wednesday RCMP conducted a traffic stop on an ATV in Grand Bank.

The officer suspected the 30-year-old man was impaired by alcohol.

The man failed a roadside breath test, was arrested for impaired driving and was transported back to the detachment where he provided breath samples that were three times the legal limit.

His driver’s licence was suspended and the ATV was seized and impounded.

The man was ticketed for driving while suspended, operating without insurance, and operating an unregistered ATV.

The accused was released from custody to appear in court at a later date.
