On December 13, 2024, just before 11:00 p.m., a BC Highway Patrol officer stopped a vehicle for an impaired driving check on 86 Street at 85 Avenue, Fort St.-John. The 39-year-old driver produced a driver’s licence, but when the officer asked the driver to tell him her name she could not remember. As a result, even though the driver was not impaired, she was arrested and the vehicle was searched.
During the search, police located a loaded, Privately Made Firearm (PMF) or ghost gun prohibited pistol, pepper spray, almost $2,000 cash, and suspected illicit drugs.
