A 27-year-old man from Carrot River is facing drunk driving charges after he allegedly tried to avoid police officers early Sunday morning.
At 3:32 a.m. police learnt about a Honda Civic, which police said evaded officers in Assiniboia and Moose Jaw before heading towards Regina.
Officers in an unmarked police cruiser briefly saw the vehicle in the Harbour Landing shopping area where an officer got a look at the driver. A short time later, police said the two occupants in the Civic abandoned the car in an alley.
