A 34-year-old Saskatoon woman has been charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, refusing to comply with a breath demand, resisting arrest and two counts of assaulting a police officer following a Sunday morning incident in the area of Laurier Drive and Circle Drive.

At 9 a.m. on May 28, the Saskatoon Police Service received a call about a suspected impaired driver in the Laurier and Circle Drive area. The Air Support Unit quickly spotted the vehicle and monitored its movement, observing that it was being operated in an inconsistent and dangerous manner before stopping in the area of 22nd Street West and Avenue Y South.

Police say the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle attempted to flee. Following a struggle with officers, she was taken into custody, then allegedly spit in the face of a Special Constable while being processed in detention.
