A traffic stop in Dauphin early Sunday morning, November 22, 2009, resulted in the arrest of a 19-year-old Dauphin area man.

Just before 1am, officers on patrol in the south end of Dauphin observed a car traveling northbound on 2nd Street S.W. at a high rate of speed. The car was stopped after it had turned onto 2nd Avenue N.W.

The driver, who showed signs of impairment, was taken to the Dauphin Detachment for a breath test. The test showed his blood alcohol concentration to be 3 times the legal limit.

The man has been released to appear in Dauphin Court on December 22, 2009.
