Abbotsford officer catches drunk driver right outside the police station

ABBOTSFORD – Officers nabbed a man for impaired driving on their own doorstep early Sunday. 

On social media, Abbotsford Police Department admitted it’s not every day that an impaired driver brings himself directly to a police station. 

It happened around 2:00 a.m. November 1 when a 42 year old man arrived at APD Headquarters on Justice Way to report he’d lost his cellphone after taking an Uber home from a local liquor establishment earlier in the evening. 

While at the station, police say one of their patrol officers saw the man’s truck being driven on the sidewalk within the AbbyPD parking lot.   The officer approached the driver after he got out of the vehicle and immediately noted signs of alcohol impairment.
