Two Guelph men face impaired driving charges following separate traffic stops on the weekend.
Approximately 6:15 p.m. Saturday officers were dispatched to assist bylaw officers who were towing a vehicle for being parked illegally on Goodwin Drive. Officers observed two cans of alcohol in the vehicle’s cup holders, police report.
As officers were waiting for the tow truck, a male was seen getting into the car and placing it in reverse. He was stopped and officers noted an odour of alcoholic beverage on his breath.

A 57-year-old is charged with impaired driving.
