    At the hospital in Stephenville, police spoke with the operator who showed signs of alcohol impairment.

    Bay St. George RCMP have arrested a 64-year-old man after an all-terrain vehicle in Robinsons Tuesday night. Shortly after 8:00 p.m. police received a report of the crash.  A side-by-side ATV left the Main Road in Robinsons, flipped over and came to rest in a ditch.  The man was the single occupant and was taken by ambulance prior to police arrival. At the hospital in Stephenville, police spoke with the operator who showed signs of alcohol impairment. He was already suspended from driving and refused a blood demand. The accused is set to appear in court at a later date to answer to charges of impaired operation and refusing a blood demand. He was given  a ticket for driving while suspended and his licence was further suspended.  The ATV was seized and impounded.
