A Vernon bylaw officer was in the right place to help out a police officer involved with a traffic stop in the downtown. The Mountie had pulled over a suspected drunk driver in the 3200 block of 33rd Street Sunday night but was getting yelled at by two of the car's occupants. The bylaw officer helped the Mountie handcuff the female driver and keep the other agitated passenger at bay. A 21 year old Vernon woman was issued a 90 day immediate roadside prohibition, and is also expected to face a mischief charge after kicking the door of a police car. "She was taken to cells and the aggressive male was later released when he had calmed down. The second man was also let go on his way as he remained calm during this road check," says RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Molendyk says the incident shows the working relationship the police have with the city's bylaw officers.
