Two men have been charged with impaired driving after two separate incidents in Lower Sackville.
RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment (HRD) and RCMP Southeast Traffic Services (SETS) — Metro said that the first incident occurred at 7:15 p.m. on Sept. 29 where a Ford pickup truck was swerving on Highway 102. Travelling southbound, a witness followed the truck as it as it took the Glendale Dr. exit and travelled toward Beaver Bank Road.
With the support of the witness, an officer located the truck on Stokil Drive and initiated a traffic stop. The officer spoke with the driver, who showed signs of impairment.
The 33-year-old driver from Inkerman Ferry, New Brunswick, was arrested for impaired driving. He was transported to the Lower Sackville RCMP Detachment, where he provided breath samples that registered 120 mg per cent and 110 mg per cent.
Later that day, at around 9:45 p.m., officers arrived at the intersection of Rafting Drive and Mulley Crescent in Middle Sackville as there were reports of a man yelling at a woman as he drove around the area in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV).
Upon arrival, an officer with RCMP SETS – Metro located the vehicle and its driver at an address on Mulley Crescent. The officer spoke with the man and took a breath sample which he failed.
A 21-year-old man driver from Middle Sackville, was arrested for impaired driving. He was transported to the Lower Sackville RCMP Detachment, where he provided breath samples that registered 90 mg per cent and 80 mg per cent.
Both drivers have since been released and are scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
