The officer had his emergency lights activated, and eventually, the driver took notice and pulled off into a nearby business paring lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The driver was immediately arrested for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and once in police custody, the officer detected the driver was also under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The driver, a 22-year-old Middle Sackville man, was taken to the detachment where he provided samples of his breath in excess of the legal limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was subsequently charged and will face the courts at a later date for impaired driving offenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From the Cruiser is brought to you by:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[adrotate banner=&#8221;87&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brought to you by [adrotate banner=&#8221;87&#8243;] ENFIELD: Over the past two weeks, Officers with East Hants RCMP responded to 152 calls for service.
