Three men and one woman are facing charges of impaired driving following what was a busy weekend on the roads for the Thompson RCMP detachment. 

The first charge was laid on Friday evening, when a vehicle was pulled over by officers for speeding. The 20-year-old failed the roadside screening test, and blew twice the legal limit. The car was impounded and the driver will appear in Provincial Court in May.

A vehicle was stopped by Mounties Saturday evening after witnessing a near collision. The 37-year-old driver blew twice the legal limit when given the roadside test, and will appear in Provincial Court in June.

Later that night, Thompson RCMP responded to a report of an intoxicated 23-year-old male who had stolen a vehicle. Officers were able to locate the vehicle, and the suspect was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while impaired after blowing over twice the legal limit. Like the 37-year-old, he will appear in court in June.

The final impaired driving charge of the weekend came in the early hours of Sunday morning. RCMP officers had determined that the driver, who was pulled over at a traffic stop, had been consuming liquor. The 22-year-old was arrested at the scene after she blew twice the legal limit when the roadside screening test was administered. The driver will appear in Provincial Court next month.
