Police arrested a Lower Sackville man for impaired driving over the weekend after multiple calls from the public.

On Friday evening, officers responded to a report of a Toyota Corolla with flat tires travelling on the wrong side of the road in the 400 block of Sackville Drive.

Mounties said they responded but could not find the vehicle.

Then a few minutes later, police received a second report about the same Corolla and that vehicle debris had been found near the intersection of Sackville Drive and Pinehill Drive.

RCMP said it received a third report minutes later, saying the vehicle was on Skyridge Avenue, driving on the wrong side of the road at different speeds and hitting a flatbed truck parked on the roadside.

An officer eventually found the damaged Toyota in a parking lot on Sackville Drive and arrested the driver, who showed signs of impairment.

According to police, he was transported to the Lower Sackville RCMP Detachment, where he refused to provide breath samples.

The 24-year-old man has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
