A Guelph man was charged with impaired driving following a traffic stop Tuesday.
Approximately 3:30 p.m. police say they received information about a possible impaired driver leaving the area of Guelph General Hospital. An officer attended the owner’s address near London Road West and Edinburgh Road North and a short time later observed the vehicle arriving.
The driver was approached and the officer noted an odour of alcoholic beverage on his breath. After failing a roadside test the male was transported to the police station, where further testing confirmed he had more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system.
A 61-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired operation. His driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.
