June 4; Marine Avenue/Alberni Street
At approximately 2:30 pm, while making patrols in the area, Powell River RCMP observed a vehicle driving south on Marine Avenue. As the vehicle passed, police recognized the driver as being prohibited from driving due to a previous impaired driving complaint.
Police stopped the vehicle and arrested the 54-year-old male for impaired driving. While speaking to the driver police detected an odour of liquor on his breath. The driver provided a breath sample which registered a “fail” on an approved screening device.
As a result, the male was issued a second 90-day driving prohibition and will be appearing in court for prohibited driving at a later time.
Anyone with information about the incident above is asked to contact Powell River RCMP at 604.485.6255, or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.TIPS (8477) or online at bccrimestoppers.com.
