During the early morning hours of March 16, 2014, Steinbach RCMP were patrolling east of Steinbach when they pulled over a motor vehicle for a sobriety check.

Police say that the 23-year-old male driver, from the RM of La Broquerie, was noted to be under the influence of alcohol and was subsequently arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle. Police then observed a second motor vehicle which appeared to avoid the flashing police lights. That vehicle was also pulled over and the driver, a 27-year-old male from Marchand, was also found to be under the influence of alcohol.

RCMP report that both drivers were issued 30 day licence suspensions for their alcohol impairment.
