Afternoon drinks in Saskatoon end in handcuffs for Prince Albert woman

Aug 16, 2018 | 8:09 AM

One Prince Albert woman is feeling more than just the effects of alcohol after an afternoon of drinking left Saskatoon police with an easy-to-solve case.

Around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Saskatoon police got a call from a bar on Broadway saying a woman left without paying her large tab. Unfortunately for the woman, she left her purse and identification behind, thwarting any potential dine-and-dash efforts.

An hour later, police got another call of a woman driving a black Mercedes leaving a bar on Diefenbaker Drive without paying her tab. This time the woman left her shoes behind.

At 5:40 p.m. around ten minutes later, police were called about a collision on at 11th Street West and Circle Drive. The witness on the phone said a Mercedes had run into a truck and was leaving the scene east on 11th St.
