At around 1:05 p.m. the same day, RCMP located an alleged impaired driver on 110 Street in North Battleford.

The 33-year-old woman was arrested and refused to provide a breath sample. She was subsequently charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and failure to provide a breath sample.

On Aug. 20, police located a vehicle going 137 kilometres per hour on Highway 4 south of Battleford. The vehicle was stopped and officers found a 30-year-old man was impaired by alcohol and subsequently arrested.

RCMP said he became confrontational and police were therefore unable to obtain a breath sample.

He was subsequently charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, failure to provide a breath sample and uttering threats to police.

Battlefords RCMP received 249 calls for service from 6 a.m. on Aug. 18 to 6 a.m. on Aug. 21.
