Police Charge Scooter Driver with Impaired Driving
Birdtail Sioux First Nation, MB
On May 30, 2024, members of the Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS) located an impaired driver in Birdtail Sioux First Nation.
MFNPS members were on patrol and located a scooter on its side with the driver still in place. Police checked on the driver for injuries. The driver had no signs of injury; however, he was showing signs of impairment due to alcohol; as a result, the driver was arrested for impaired operation of a conveyance. The driver was transported to the detachment, where he provided samples of his breath with results well over three times the legal limit.
