Road Check Friday surprised a few and Sully solved
Kimberley RCMP Report
Kimberley RCMP conducted a road check on Highway 95A on Friday night (March 15) and surprised a number of people.
One driver is now facing charges of Drive While Prohibited after he borrowed his friend’s truck to drive into town. In addition, he got a violation ticket for no driver’s license and drive contrary to restrictions. His license status was a result of a drinking and driving incident sometime ago.
Another got his marijuana seized. Two other drivers were caught after they decided to turn around just prior to the check. Yes, this draws attention to you. Not sure what would have happened if they drove through the check, but it would have been no worse than what they got. One was a new driver with too many passengers; the other received a three-day driving prohibition as a result of a warn on the roadside-screening device. His story? He suddenly decided to take a different way. Didn’t tell him there is only one way out of town going that direction.
Arrest
An arrest was also made on Friday night in relation to the smash and grab at the Sullivan Hotel Beer and Wine Store. A suspect was taken into custody after staff recognized him from the video. I guess going back to the scene of the crime was not a good idea.
