PENTICTON — An alleged drunk driver turned to road rage after being reported to police Tuesday afternoon.
A concerned motorist called 911 to report the driver, then followed him to Valleyview Road.
Police say the alleged impaired driver, a 24-year-old man from Oliver, then got out his truck and threatened the motorist with a crowbar.
“All available police resources responded and surrounded the area,” said Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth.
According to RCMP the driver then got back in his truck, sped off and lost control, hitting a concrete median.
The Oliver man tried to escape on foot but police arrested him, without incident, a short distance away.
The driver is facing impaired driving and assault with a weapon charges.
