“This was her fourth arrest for an impaired driving related offence, within the last 18 months,” police said.

Sandra Emran was charged with operating a vehicle while impaired by drugs, refusing a urine sample, operating a vehicle while prohibited, and driving while under suspension.

Investigators said Emran was already under a Canada-wide driving prohibition order and three Highway Traffic Act-related driving prohibitions. She is also facing three other separate driving charges and has past convictions of disqualified driving, police said.

The woman attended a bail hearing on Thursday and was released from custody the same day.
