A Canadian skier was arrested after he and two others stole a car and tried to drive it back to Olympic Village intoxicated.

Ski cross competitor David Duncan, his wife, and his coach were all taken into custody today and then released, after South Korean police stopped them in a stolen vehicle. The three had been out drinking and were driving back to their residence. Coach Willy Raine, the driver of the vehicle, had a blood alcohol level of 0.16, above the 0.05 legal limit for vehicle operation in South Korea, CBC reported.
