A 23-year-old man is facing numerous drug and alcohol related charges after being arrested by Steinbach RCMP this past weekend.
During the early morning hours of May 2, 2014, while on patrol, Steinbach RCMP noted a vehicle swerving from side to side on a main road near Steinbach. The vehicle was stopped at which time officers noted that the driver appeared intoxicated.
The driver of the vehicle, a 23-year-old male, was arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle. After providing a sample of his breath it was determined that his blood alcohol level was over twice that of legal limit.
RCMP report that the driver was also arrested for possession for the purposes of trafficking, as a search of the vehicle produced materials conducive to trafficking marijuana.
Police say that the driver was released the next day on a promise to appear.
