“This was concerning as this was occurring in a school zone during school hours,” said Williams Lake RCMP Const. Colin Champagne. “The driver was stopped and arrested before anyone was injured or a collision occurred.”
Police said alcohol was a factor and charges will be recommended.
“The Williams Lake RCMP will continue to target impaired driving as a detachment priority,” Champagne said.
Members of the public are encouraged to report suspicious driving behaviour.
