'Heavily intoxicated' Man Allegedly Drove To Detachment, RCMP Say

The Canadian Press, 16 Mar, 2018 05:46 PM
    ANTIGONISH, N.S. — Nova Scotia RCMP didn't have to go far to arrest a suspected drunk driver: he came to them.
     
     
    They say a man went to their Antigonish detachment on Tuesday "hoping to release a friend who was in police custody."
     
     
    But officers arrested the man after determining he was "heavily intoxicated," and had driven there in his 2008 Pontiac Wave.
     
     
    They say he had also been on conditions not to consume alcohol.
     
     
    Michael Taylor Pinkham, a 27-year-old man from Roachville, N.S., faces several charges including impaired driving, failing to comply with an undertaking and public intoxication.
     
     
    RCMP say he was released after a court appearance and will return to Antigonish provincial court on April 4.
