Tremblay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He said the man was then arrested and taken inside detachment where he provided subsequent breath samples that both registered at 100mg%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That evening, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Halifax District RCMP was conducting traffic enforcement on Hwy 107 in Dartmouth when a Toyota Echo was heard approaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The officer believed the vehicle was being operated without a muffler and completed a traffic stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “The driver of the vehicle, a 21-year-old Prince Edward Island man, was exhibiting signs of impairment and stated he had consumed alcohol at a gathering,” said Cpl. Tremblay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADVERTISEMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”71″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cpl.
