A member of the Assiniboia RCMP has been charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, and impaired operation over .08, after an incident at Wood Mountain Provincial Park.

RCMP responded to a complaint of a disturbance on the night of July 22. Upon arrival, the male subject had left the scene. After planning and conducting a traffic stop to catch the suspect, they were able to lay charges against an off-duty officer.

Sgt Donald Duplissea, who is a 15 year veteran of the Assiniboia RCMP, is scheduled to appear in court August 9 and has been placed on administrative duties at this time.
