A La Broquerie man is facing a number of impaired driving charges after being arrested by Steinbach RCMP earlier this week.

On March 26, 2014, at approximately 11:52pm, Steinbach RCMP observed a vehicle leaving a local establishment that serves alcohol. Officers observed the vehicle failing to signal and swerving from side to side.

Police say that a traffic stop was conducted, and a 21-year-old male from the RM of La Broquerie was arrested for impaired driving. Subsequent breath samples confirmed that the driver was over the legal limit and operating a motor vehicle while impaired.

RCMP report that the driver will be facing charges of impaired driving and driving over 80 mg %. He will be appearing in Steinbach Provincial Court at a later date.
