Patrols were made and the suspect vehicle was located near the Paint Lake (Provincial Highway 375) turnoff. 

 

A man from Thompson provided a sample of his breath which resulted in a 90 days suspension of their driver's license in accordance with the Immediate Roadside Prohibition for Alcohol legislation. 

 

Their vehicle was also towed and impounded.

 

Then on June 6 at approximately 3:18 PM, the Thompson RCMP received a report from Trapper's Tavern an impaired driver was attempting to leave the parking lot.

This woman was released to appear in court at a later date.
