Vacationing Ontario, Nova Scotia police officers arrest drunk driving suspect
LIVERPOOL, N.S. — Vacationing police officers from Ontario and Nova Scotia sprung into action to stop an alleged drunk driver involved in a hit-and-run.
Police say the driver was spotted by two off-duty officers — from Nova Scotia RCMP and Ontario’s Waterloo Regional Police Service — as well as an auxiliary Toronto police constable around noon Wednesday near Liverpool, N.S.
RCMP said a green Chevy Cavalier had been seen driving erratically in the Hunt’s Point area, crossing the centre line and sideswiping an oncoming vehicle, before continuing to a local resort.
The police officers, all unknown to each other beforehand but vacationing at the resort, thought the driver appeared to be unconscious.
