Magog police logged unusual cases of impaired driving on Sunday, arresting a 50-year-old woman just two hours after apprehending her 27-year-old daughter for the same offence.

The licences of both women — residents of Montreal — have been suspended and they were released on a promise to appear in court in Sherbrooke.

Officers of the Régie de police de Memphrémagog said that late Saturday a patrol car came across a vehicle apparently stuck on the side of the road near Des Pères Rd. and Norbel St. in Magog.

Police took the 27-year-old driver into custody because it seemed she was under the influence of alcohol.

Once at the police station, the woman refused a breathalyzer test, leading to more charges being filed against her.

Then, at 1 a.m. Sunday, the mother of the suspect came to the police station to pick up her daughter after the latter’s car had been impounded.

However an officer noticed that the suspect’s mother also seemed to be under the influence of alcohol.

The 50-year-old woman failed a sobriety test and was arrested for impaired driving.
