On April 12, 2019, at approximately 5:00 p.m., Whitbourne RCMP received a report of a vehicle speeding and swerving on Route 80 near the community of Blaketown.
Police responded and located the vehicle and driver, a 27-year-old woman from Ontario. She provided a breath sample at roadside through an approved screening device, which registered a fail. She was arrested for impaired driving and provided breath samples over twice the legal limit. Her driver's licence was suspended and her vehicle impounded.
The woman was released from custody and will appear in court at a later date.
RCMP NL thanks the public for continuing to report suspected impaired drivers.
