A Smiths Falls woman is facing a drunk driving charge after being stopped by police on Tuesday night.
According to the Smiths Falls Police Service, officers were conducting a routine patrol when they noticed a vehicle driving erratically on Lombard Street. The vehicle was pulled over and the driver, a 32-year-old woman, was found to be under the influence of alcohol.
The woman was arrested and taken to the police station for further testing. She has been charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit.
This incident serves as a reminder to always drive responsibly and never get behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol. Not only is it illegal, but it puts the safety of yourself and others at risk.
The Smiths Falls Police Service is urging anyone who sees a suspected impaired driver to contact them immediately. They also remind the public that there are alternative options for transportation, such as designated drivers or ride-sharing services, to avoid driving while impaired.
The accused woman is scheduled to appear in court at a later date to face her charges. The Smiths Falls Police Service will continue to monitor the roads and enforce impaired driving laws to ensure the safety of the community.
