A Kelowna distillery was giving away free hand sanitizer when fights broke out among some people waiting in the nearly 1,000-car-long line.

Forbidden Spirits Distilling Co. hosted its first 91裸聊视频楽anitizer Saturday91裸聊视频� on April 11.

The distillery planned on distributing sanitizer from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. but the RCMP stepped in to shut things down just before 3 p.m. as the lengthy queue of cars began to block roads. Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy with the Kelowna RCMP said officers did not observe any violence.

91裸聊视频淥ther than traffic-related concerns, the only other issue noted was impatience,91裸聊视频� she said.

Others at the scene, however, did see that impatience turn heated.

The distillery91裸聊视频檚 co-founder, Blair Wilson, said he attributes the fights to people 91裸聊视频榖utting in line91裸聊视频�, frustrating other drivers who had already been waiting in line.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 not the type of behaviour we91裸聊视频檇 like to see,91裸聊视频� said Wilson.

Other than a few incidents, Wilson said most everybody was well behaved.

Despite the early shut-down, Wilson said the distillery was able to connect with several health facilities currently running low on sanitizer and will deliver some of their product straight to them. The distillery ended up serving around 400 cars, with a maximum of two litres per car.

The distillery still plans on hosting a Sanitizer Saturday next weekend, but Wilson said they will likely only be serving 500 cars with the line rerouted so that no intersections are blocked.
