The chains were later recovered nearby. All four suspects were had been drinking prior to this offence. The male was later released with Promise to Appear. The three girls were released to their parents with a Promise to appear in court at a later date.
Then just before one o'clock Sunday afternoon, the RCMP received a report that a car had hopped the meridian on Highway 97 on hospital hill, crossed two lanes of traffic, then went down the embankment and drove through a flower bed over the grass at Polson Park, crossed the bridge near the fountain and parked near the Lawn bowling area. The 34 year old man driving was arrested for Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle. Police say the suspect does not have a valid driver's license the vehicle was impounded for seven days. A search of the driver revealed a crack pipe, some pills and other suspected drugs. The suspect has conditions not to consume. A search of the vehicle and found open liquor in it as well. The RO of the vehicle was in it at the time and was also arrested for an unrelated matter. Police do say there is no indication that the vehicle came close to anyone while driving over the grass in Polson Park. No word yet on how much it will cost to do the repairs in the park.
