AGASSIZ/HARRISON HOT SPRINGS – Two guys who relieved themselves in public and drove away in their vehicles have been issued driving bans last week after RCMP members became suspicious and determined they were both impaired.
According to a recap of police activities for the Agassiz RCMP detachment related to the week of Monday, March 30 through Sunday, April 5, a Mountie observed a man urinating outside a gas station in Harrison Hot Springs before he drove away in a vehicle. Police initiated a roadside stop and acted on suspicion the man might be impaired. Police conducted a roadside test confirming impairment, and the driver was issued an immediate roadside prohibition. The man’s vehicle was towed.
In a similar incident over in Agassiz, a man was observed relieving himself in a parking lot before departing in his vehicle. A roadside stop discovered the driver had an invalid license and was also intoxicated. Yet another immediate roadside prohibition was issued, and another vehicle was towed.
“When nature calls in public places, it has a way of raising eyebrows, and in this case, roadside testing resulted in two impaired drivers being removed from the roadway,” Corporal Kiener said.
