File #2017-42655: Impaired Operation of Motor Vehicle 

On Saturday, December 16, 2017 at approximately 9:18 p.m. patrol officers were dispatched initially to 6th Avenue East and 21 Street on a call of a Motor Vehicle Accident that had hit a guard rail on the viaduct. When officers arrived the suspect vehicle had already fled.

The vehicle was found a short time later on the 500 Block 21 Street stuck in a snow bank. Officers interviewed the driver that appeared intoxicated. The suspect was brought back to the police station and breathalyzer tests were conducted which the suspect failed.

The suspect has been charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and failure to remain at the scene of a hit and run.

The 23-year-old suspect from Prince Albert has since been released and will make his first appearance in Prince Albert Provincial Court on Monday, January 22, 2018.
