Around 18:08 yesterday, police responded to a report that a vehicle had driven through a
fence along the 1800 block of 23 Street North. The vehicle had left the scene before police got there; however officers located it on Cougar Way North. Following an investigation, police arrested and charged a suspect.

Jason Alan Choboter, 30, of Lethbridge, is charged with impaired driving, driving over .08, dangerous driving, and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. He is to appear in court on October 3.

In an unrelated incident, a 2004 grey Ford Freestar with Alberta licence plate DHU 025 was stolen from the 2400 block of 13 Street North. Police did not state when this took place.

Sometime between midnight and 8:00 this morning, a white 2 door 2005 Chevrolet Blazer with BC licence plate 716 PFL was stolen. At the time of the theft the vehicle was parked in the east parking lot of a hotel in the 2200 block of Mayor Magrath Drive South.

Alberta licence plate DYG 655 was stolen off of a 2009 dark blue Toyota Venza. Police did not state when this theft took place or where the vehicle was parked.

      I don’t enjoy the LPD and the way they conduct themselves. But when people like you come around and communicate like a 5 year old on acid, then try to represent those looking for change. Man grow some balls, lose the internet swag and deal with it like a human being. Come on a comment board and talk about bacon and forks. Big boy. Time for dinner.

      I find it hard to believe that you are a politician, did you PR and editing staff take a permanent vacation from you?. If you are said politician and noone on here believes that you are. You would have some sort of credentials to back up your claim to be a public figure. Your lack of grammer and spelling plus the way you conduct yourself is not that of a public figure. So you are a liar and a loser. Good day sir.

    Lets get some articles published on the seniors driving in this town. Possibly more hazerdous than the drunks.
