The Kelowna RCMP removed an allegedly drunk driver from the road on Wednesday evening.

Just before 9 p.m., officers received reports of a blue Dodge Ram driving erratically on Harvey Avenue.

The officer stopped the man a short time later on Buckland Avenue. Noting signs of alcohol consumption while dealing with the driver, the officer took him back to the detachment to provide a breath sample.

The driver, a 24-year-old Kelowna man, provided two breath samples, both of which were more than three times the legal limit.

The man was released from custody pending a court date and the vehicle was impounded.

The circumstances will be forwarded to the Crown for review.
