HRM: <\/strong>RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has arrested two people for impaired driving in separate incidents overnight.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 6, at approximately 10:20 p.m., officers conducting a proactive patrol in East Ship Harbour observed a vehicle travelling 100 km\/hr in an 80 km\/hr zone on Hwy. 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officers conducted a traffic stop, and while speaking with the driver, they observed signs of impairment.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A roadside breath test was administered, resulting in a fail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver, a 42-year-old man from Tangier, was arrested for impaired driving and taken to the Sheet Harbour RCMP detachment, where he provided breath samples registering 140 mg% and 130 mg%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was released and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date to face charges related to this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
