Woman, 28, arrested after crash with parked vehicle in downtown Winnipeg
Police charged woman with impaired driving, assaulting a peace officer
A Winnipeg woman is facing a number of charges, including assaulting a police officer, following a rollover and collision with a parked vehicle.
Winnipeg police were called to a collision at around 3:10 a.m. on Sunday at Garry Street near Broadway Avenue, according to a Monday news release.
Officers found a 2018 Chevrolet Cruze on its roof, and police believe it crashed with a parked vehicle before rolling over. Both vehicles sustained damage.
Emergency crews assessed the 28-year-old driver and an 18-year-old passenger who were in the rolled-over Cruze. After both were medically cleared, officers arrested the woman, who was driving, based "on observed signs of intoxication," police said.
While being searched at police headquarters, police said she became combative and assaulted the processing officer, who was injured in the lower part of his body, but didn't require medical attention.
The woman has been charged with multiple offences, including assaulting a police officer, operating while impaired and possession of a substance for the purpose of trafficking.
She has been released on a promise to appear in court.
