No Injuries In Wild Ride

City police are reporting a wild ride overnight. Police say they were kept busy last night after a driver of a red Jeep reportedly crashed through several yards and laneways before hitting a building located in the 300 Block of Cumberland Street. Just before 9:00 p.m. police received a call about a hit and run that had occurred in the Dawson Road and Red River Road area. The witness stated that a red Jeep had just run through yards almost hitting pedestrians. A few minutes later calls were received from residents in the Stephen Street area about a red Jeep that struck vehicles, fences and property in back yards as it traveled through a laneway in the area. The vehicle finally came to a stop when it struck a building on Cumberland Street. A 38 year old man was taken into custody and has been arrested for drunk driving, refusing to provide a breath sample and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He was to appear in court this morning.
