Impaired driver passed out in vehicle
File # 2023-102

On January 7, 2023, at 11:09 p.m., frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP officers conducted an investigation into a 29-year-old Trail woman who was allegedly driving her Jeep Cherokee while impaired by alcohol in the 1000 block of Courtesy Road, in Trail, BC.

The officers located the unconscious woman slumped over the wheel of her vehicle parked on the side of the road. Officers were able to rouse the woman after some difficulty in getting her to wake up. A demand was read to the woman, who provided a sample of breath roadside that resulted in a fail.

The 29-year-old Trail woman was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) under Section 215 of the BC Motor Vehicle Act. Her vehicle was impounded for a period of at minimum of 30-days.

2022 Trail and Greater District Fourth Quarter and Year End Statistics

2022 Fourth Quarter Synopsis

2022 Year End Synopsis

2022 had an impact on the Trail Detachment and communities it serves. We had a very close call with two of our officers whose quick action and bravery turned a potentially deadly tragedy into a successful arrest of alleged criminal. An explosion of a bomb in Montrose rocked all of us and showed our citizens that organized crime is everywhere today. Property crimes and theft from vehicles went down because the public fought back against criminals by locking their vehicle doors. The upcoming decriminalization of small amounts of drugs had its effect in the fourth quarter. Often investigation into small amount of drugs leads to much bigger discoveries by officers. Officers in the future will have to develop new tools when investigating drug trafficking. As the communities return to a post-Covid world, they spend less time at home and reporting on suspicious incident in their neighbourhoods. Calls dropped sharply after RCMP and Interior Health revisited police attendance at the hospital for mental health related incidents. Residents still are calling the police for assistance, and guidance, and I believe it has to do with the trust and professionalism of our members. I would like to thank everyone who participated in our community justice program in 2022. Together we can all make a difference and keep our communities safe. – Sgt. Wicentowich
