An impaired driver was arrested in Victoria after allegedly hitting a "report impaired driver" sign with their pickup truck.

West Shore RCMP said they received a call from a witness around 9:55 p.m. PT March 21, who told police they had seen the driver speed onto a sidewalk and crash into the sign before driving away.

A police officer attended the location at Craigflower Rd. and Admirals Rd. in the community of View Royal, about six kilometres west of Victoria, where they found the sign crumpled on the ground, along with a licence plate from the vehicle.

‘They’re all high’: Louisiana police say rats eating marijuana in evidence room

New Orleans superintendent tells council committee that rodents have infested the building and requests to move headquarters

Cops in New Orleans are on the tail of a brazen gang of narcotics traffickers who broke into the evidence room at police headquarters and pilfered all the pot: a swarm of rodents with a hankering for the high life.

“The rats are eating our marijuana. They’re all high,” Anne Kirkpatrick, superintendent of the city’s police department, told a council committee meeting on Monday.

The chief’s ratting out of the prime suspects was part of her pitch to councilors to fund a move for her officers into new premises in the Big Easy’s downtown, according to Nola.com.
