Impaired driver allegedly crashed into N.S. RCMP detachment
A Nova Scotia RCMP detachment was damaged after an impaired driver allegedly crashed into the building in Waycobah early Thursday morning.
According to an RCMP news release, officers responded to a reported impaired driver travelling on Highway 105 around 2:44 a.m. Police learned the driver had allegedly stolen a black Chevrolet Equinox and was heading towards the Waycobah RCMP Detachment.

Trinity Bernard, 24, was charged with:
- dangerous operation of a conveyance
- flight from peace officer
- two counts of mischief
