On Jan. 7, police were patrolling Highway 16 near Franklin, when they came across a truck that was swerving on the road. A traffic stop was conducted to confirm licence and registration validity, as well as, driver sobriety. The male driver of the vehicle displayed signs of alcohol consumption and a roadside screening device was used to check on level of driver sobriety. The male driver failed the test and was arrested for Impaired Driving. The male was brought back to Neepawa detachment where he provided two samples of breath which resulted in readings of 130 and 120 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. As a result, Jeffrey Cook, of Neepawa, has been charged with Impaired Operation of Motor Vehicle.
