At around 7:40 p.m. yesterday, Pictou District RCMP responded to a complaint of a

Police located the vehicle near Haliburton. Police arrested the driver for Impaired Operation of a Conveyance, Operation of a Conveyance with a Blood Alcohol Concentration Over the legal limit, and Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle.
