Drink and drugs keep police busy overnight

Mount Gamber police have detected a woman driving under the influence of drugs and arrested a man following a disturbance at a local hotel overnight.

At 10pm 25 August, police stopped a 43-year-old Millicent woman driving on Foote Street, Mount Gambier. The woman’s bad driving had prompted a number of calls from concerned members of the public. The woman is alleged to have been under the influence of Methamphetamine and police are making further enquiries in relation to other offences. Her sample has been sent to Forensic Science SA for further testing.

Just after midnight police arrested a 30-year-old Victorian man who is alleged to have caused damage at Mac’s Hotel. He was bailed to appear at the Mount Gambier Magistrates Court 29 September.
