Upon arrival, officers located a woman in the driver’s seat of the Honda calling a tow truck. An officer spoke with the driver and observed signs of impairment.
The driver, a 44-year-old woman from Halifax, was arrested for impaired driving. She was transported to the Cole Harbour RCMP Detachment where she provided two breath samples registering 220 mg% each.
