RCMP west of Edmonton are calling an alleged impaired driver ‘industrious’ – after he was pulled over Tuesday evening, his vehicle was towed, but he had another form of transportation to get him home.
Officers patrolling Highway 16 west of Stony Plain came across a truck pulling a horse trailer that had no license plate at about 7 p.m.
The truck was pulled over, and officers said the driver registered a ‘caution’ reading on their alcohol screening device, which police said means the driver had a blood alcohol content of 60 to 100 milligrams of alcohol, per 100 millilitres of blood.
As a result, the driver’s license was suspended, and his truck and trailer were towed.
After that, police said the man utilized the horse he had in his trailer, and he rode the several kilometres home in the ditch.
