On June 8, at approximately 9 a.m., Olds RCMP received a call for service about an erratic driver who was traveling southbound on Highway 2.
Information was received that the vehicle was traveling over 150 km/hr and almost side swiped another vehicle, passed unsafely and veered into other lanes of travel.
Olds RCMP located the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop on Highway 2.
Officers observed illegal cigarettes in plain view during the traffic stop.
As a result, a 37-year-old male resident of Spruce Grove was arrested and charged with the following:
- Frauds upon Government
- Possession of untaxed tobacco
The male, who cannot be named as the charges have not been sworn before the courts, was released on an appearance notice.
He will be appearing in Alberta Court of Justice in Didsbury on Aug. 25.
