As a result of information received, Shelburne RCMP arrested a local man for impaired driving by a drug.

At approximately 1 a.m. this morning, Shelburne County Street Crime Enforcement Unit (SCEU), with assistance from Shelburne Detachment, located and arrested a Shelburne resident for driving a motor vehicle while impaired by a drug.

The man was taken to Shelburne Detachment where a local RCMP officer qualified as a Drug Recognition Expert continued the investigation.
