BEDFORD – On Saturday, September 2, at 9:29 p.m. Bedford Police Department dispatch received a call from an employee at Circle K at 1428 16th Street about a possibly impaired driver who had just left the store and was traveling east on 16th Street.
Bedford Police officers responded to the area.
Dispatch then received a second call reporting the driver had returned to the store and was not at the fuel pumps.
