RCMP Media Release
On May 5, 2017, Spruce Plains RCMP received a call regarding a semi travelling south on Highway 5 that was all over the road and approaching Neepawa. Police located the vehicle on Highway 16 near Minnedosa and initiated a traffic stop. Upon speaking with the male driver, police noted the smell of alcohol. The driver was detained for an impaired operation investigation and provided a sample of breath into a roadside screening device, which resulted in a fail. Two samples of breath were obtained from the driver, with results of 120 mg per cent and 110 mg per cent. As a result, Casey Larson, of Otter Lake, was charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle. The matter has been dealt with before the courts and a fine of $1,400 was issued.
