Mounties charge tractor driver with impaired driving

Aug 1, 2018 | 5:55 AM

A drunken rip on a tractor has landed a northern Alberta man in hot water.

It was at about 6:00 p.m. Sunday that Boyle RCMP responded to a complaint of a male on a tractor causing property damage to a golf course just south of Wandering River, Alberta.

The tractor fled the scene prior to police arriving, but officers were later able to locate the tractor and driver.

 While Police were speaking to the male, an impaired driving investigation was conducted which resulted in the male being arrested and charged.
