Upon further investigation, the officer was able to confirm the identity of passenger. The passenger was discovered to have an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The male was arrested and brought before a justice at which time he was released to attend court on a later date.
Driver in rollover near Panorama found to be impaired
On Saturday, March 5 at about 11 p.m., emergency crews responded to a single vehicle rollover on Toby Creek Road near Panorama. The driver of a Chevrolet Silverado lost control of his vehicle and rolled the vehicle onto its side. The driver of the truck complied with a roadside breath demand, which resulted in a “fail.” As a result, the driver received a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30-days. The driver was also issued a violation ticket for driving without due care and attention.
