During the early morning hours of June 19, 2014, members of the Steinbach RCMP conducted a traffic stop in the RM of Hanover. Evidence on scene showed that the driver was operating a motor vehicle while impaired.

As a result of the investigation, a 37-year-old Steinbach man has been arrested for operating a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs. The man was released from custody on a promise to appear and will be formally charged at a later date.

The RCMP wish to remind the public that impaired driving is the leading cause of criminal death in Canada. Please remember that your ability to drive may be impaired by both illicit and prescription medication, and both forms of impaired driving are illegal.
