It took just over 24 hours for Thompson to see its first arrest for driving while under the influence of cannabis. 

Thompson RCMP had a check-stop set up at the intersection of Cree Road and Deerwood Drive in the early hours of October 18th when officers witnessed an SUV headed for them make a sudden turn in the opposite direction. 

An officer was able to stop the vehicle, and noticed the odour of cannabis and signs that the driver was impaired.  

The 20-year-old, who admitted to using cannabis, has had his licence suspended.

Despite being arrested, charges cannot be laid until police receive the results of the tests.
