Impaired driver
A woman was arrested after police received a report of a possible impaired driver on Tuesday evening.
The caller told police that they saw a vehicle driving over a curb and becoming stuck diagonally in a driveway in the 500 block of Queens Avenue East at around 9:45 p.m., BPS said in a news release Wednesday.
It was reported that a woman got out of the vehicle, knocked on the door of the home and “engaged in aggressive conversation on whether they owned or wanted a cat,” before returning to the vehicle, police said.
The woman was able to get herself out of the driveway and travelled west toward First Street, the release said.
Officers found and stopped the vehicle, where police said the woman displayed signs of impairment.
She refused to give a breath sample, and the vehicle’s owner was served with papers for the vehicle’s impoundment, BPS said.
Officers arrested the 28-year-old woman and charged her with operating a motor vehicle while impaired and refusing to provide a sample on demand.
The woman was later released on an appearance notice with a court date scheduled on Monday.
Business break-in
The Brandon Police Service is investigating a break-in at a downtown business on Tuesday.
Police received a report of a break-and-enter at a business in the 1600 block of Rosser Avenue at around 4:45 p.m.
At around 1:30 a.m., someone had used a crowbar to pry open the front door of the business, police said in a news release.
Roughly $500 worth of merchandise was stolen.
The incident remains under investigation.
