Quebec Mother, Daughter Charged With Drunk Driving Within Hours Of Each Other

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Jun, 2019 09:04 PM

    MAGOG, Que. — Police east of Montreal arrested a 50-year-old woman for driving under the influence on Sunday as she came to bail out her daughter who had been arrested on a similar offence just hours earlier.


    Magog police say the two women had their licences suspended for 90 days and were released on a promise to appear at the courthouse in Sherbrooke, Que.


    Police say officers responding to a call about a car stopped along the side of a main road found a 27-year-old woman allegedly under the effects of alcohol.


    She was arrested and taken to the police station but refused a breathalyzer test, which added to the charges she faces.


    When the young woman's mother arrived at the police station to retrieve her daughter about 1 a.m. Sunday, police noted she too seemed under the influence of alcohol.


    The mother failed a breathalyzer and was also arrested for impaired driving.


    Magog is about 125 kilometres east of Montreal.
