As a result of a traffic stop at King Street and 13th Avenue, a 33-year-old man from Hitchcock was arrested and is facing charges of impaired operation of a vehicle and driving while over .08. The man was lodged in cells and will be released in the morning. His driver’s licence was suspended indefinitely and his vehicle was impounded. He will appear in Estevan Provincial Court in January to answer to the charges.

He was lodged in cells until sober and all documents were served. The vehicle he was operating was impounded and his licence was suspended indefinitely. He will appear in Estevan Provincial Court in January for his first appearance.

No further details were immediately available on either case.
