RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has arrested a woman for impaired driving in Enfield.

On October 1, at approximately 7:20 p.m., RCMP officers responded to a report of a suspected impaired driver of a silver SUV that had just left a business in the 6700 block of Hwy. 2 heading toward Wellington. 

Officers learned the driver had ordered food but was unable to pay.  She then got into a heavily damaged SUV and drove through the parking lot, failing to stop for two stop signs as she left.     

Patrols to locate the SUV were unsuccessful. 

At approximately 9 p.m., officers learned the suspected driver had returned to the business in a Nissan Xterra and was parked outside. 

With assistance from East Hants District RCMP, officers located the Nissan with a woman seated in the driver’s seat.  An officer spoke with the woman and observed signs of alcohol impairment.  A roadside breath sample was obtained, which resulted in a fail.   

The woman, a 43-year-old from Middle Porters Lake, was arrested for impaired driving. She was transported to the Enfield RCMP Detachment, where she provided breath samples of 130 mg% and 120 mg%. 

The woman was later released and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.

Members of the public play an important role in helping keep our communities safe by reporting suspected impaired drivers.  A report could help prevent a serious collision, injury or death. Suspected impaired drivers can be reported by calling 911.
