Summerville man faces multiple charges after alleged impaired driving: N.S. RCMP
A Summerville, N.S., man is facing multiple charges after possible impaired driving reports in Nova Scotia’s Hants County Friday.
Just before 8 a.m., RCMP responded to multiple 911 calls of a possible impaired driver on Highway 1 in St. Croix, according to a Wednesday news release from police.
Officers found the suspect’s vehicle, a red Honda Civic, and tried to stop it. Police say the driver attempted to flee and the vehicle crashed into a snowbank.
Police arrested the driver, a 26-year-old man from Summerville. According to police, he was not injured in the crash.
At the Windsor RCMP detachment, an officer administered an impairment evaluation.

Based on information and evidence gathered at the scene, police say the man was involved in multiple other incidents, including:
- flight from a peace officer on Feb. 13
- three thefts, one in December 2023, one in November 2023 and one in November 2022
Police say there were outstanding warrants for his arrest.
