A Thompsonite was arrested for impaired driving over the weekend.

On Saturday just before noon, the local RCMP detachment received a report of an impaired driver on Brandon Crescent.

On their way to the driver, officers were then told the drunk driver hit a parked car on the same street.

Police arrived at the scene and arrested the 43-year-old, who provided breath samples nearly double the legal limit.

The lone person in the parked vehicle later went to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and the investigation continues.
