A 59-year old Stephenville woman is facing charges after failing a roadside breathalyzer and at the detachment showing 3 times the legal limit. RCMP Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey says they got a call around 1 o’clock Friday afternoon from a business on Prince Rupert Drive. Officers responded, patrolled the area and stopped the described vehicle on nearby Main Street. She was arrested and transported to the detachment.
O’Donaghey says she was charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and impaired operation equal to or over 80 mg%. He says impaired operation of any motor vehicle is a choice that places the driver and others at an unnecessary and unacceptable level of risk.
The woman was released from custody to appear in court during December.
