On July 1 just after 10 a.m., a member of RCMP Traffic Services in Cape Breton stopped a vehicle as it was making a loud noise.
The police officer met a vehicle on Hwy. 4, and noted that it was in fact being operated without a tire on the left rear wheel.
After speaking with the driver, the RCMP officer determined the 28-year-old man from Marion Bridge was impaired by alcohol. He also had open liquor in the vehicle.

The investigation is ongoing.
