Drunk Driver Demands Burger, Loses Car

0:00Early on April 19, around 4 a.m., a 38-year-old guy from Sylvan Lake drove 35 minutes to a red-deer fast-food spot, craving a burger? Things went south fast when staff told him to leave, so he called 911 for backup. Officers rode up to the parking lot and found him still part, no burger in sight, but super insistent on making his order. He admitted he'd been drinking, but stuck around hoping to eat. Staff kept it simple, saying their system was down, so no orders for anyone, no matter the driver or hunger level. Cops spotted clear signs of intoxication since he was the driver, demanded a breath sample, and he flat out refused. That choice hid hard with an immediate roadside sanctioned fail, and his vehicle seized under Alberta's traffic safety rules. RCMP's clear message stays on point, plan a designated driver, because no late-night craven justifies risking the road. Stay informed with Calgary News today, AI-powered updates.
