ESTEVAN - An individual’s driving actions resulted in a call for the Estevan Police Service (EPS) on Tuesday.
Members were dispatched to an industrial location in west-central Estevan on the report of a possible impaired driver, who was swerving in and out of traffic, causing oncoming motorists to take evasive action.
The vehicle was located and a roadside screening device was used to check the driver’s sobriety. The driver passed the test, but was served a traffic violation for driving without consideration for others.
Police issued a three-day driver’s licence suspension Friday to an Estevan man who tested positive for a drug while driving. A blood sample was taken and will be sent to the lab for testing. The EPS is now waiting for the results of that test to determine if any impaired driving charges will be laid.
Police are investigating a suspected drug offence after an unknown substance was located during a traffic stop. The substance was seized and will be analyzed at the lab and charges are pending.
