HOPE – A woman who allegedly threatened customers in the parking lot of a Hope restaurant has been issued a driving ban and had her vehicle towed after she told RCMP officers she had consumed a large amount of illicit drugs.

According to a biweekly recap from Hope RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener for Oct. 26-Nov. 8, employees at a restaurant on Old Hope Princeton Way reported that a woman threatened other customers in the parking lot of its establishment. Officers attended and located the woman along with her incapacitated vehicle which had significant damage.

During the interaction, the woman showed signs of impairment and told officers she had recently consumed a large quantity of illicit drugs, Cpl. Kiener said. It was learned the vehicle had recently been in an accident as well, which explained the extensive front-end damage to her vehicle.

A driving prohibition was issued to the woman and the vehicle was towed. A Notice and Order was also issued requiring the vehicle to undergo inspection before it could be driven again, Cpl. Kiener said.

The name of the restaurant on Old Hope Princeton Way where the incident occurred was not released.
