A 26-year-old man ended up walking home after Salmon Arm Mounties caught him driving drunk and impounded his vehicle.
At about midnight on Jan. 22, police said, Salmon Arm RCMP saw a blue Mazda MPV driving in the wrong lane on Lakeshore Drive NE.
“The vehicle was stopped and the 26-year-old male driver denied consuming any alcohol that night,” RCMP Const. Andrew Hodges said in a news release.
“Police conducted a mandatory approved screening device demand and the man blew one fail reading, and declined his right to a second test. The man was able to walk himself home."
The Mazda was impounded for 30 days and the driver was issued a 90-day driving prohibition.
Police said the driver could face further discipline from B.C.'s superintendent of motor vehicles.
