Montrose woman loses license for drunk driving

A 58-year-old Montrose woman has been issued a 90-day driving ban for drunk driving.

RCMP say they were called Saturday afternoon about a driver allegedly swerving all over the road.

An officer went to a home in the 700 block of 8th Avenue and located the woman. She was asked to provide a breath sample, which resulted in a fail.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em

Police after often called to do wellness checks, but this one was unusual.

Trail RCMP say someone asked them to talk to his neighbour about quitting smoking, as he was concerned about her health.

The officer said he appreciated the concern, but it’s not a service RCMP provide for adults.

“The neighbour is right that drug addiction has a negative impact on a person’s health, but that’s more of a matter for that person and their health care provider to discuss, not the police,” said Sgt. Mike Wicentowich.
