CENTRE WELLINGTON TOWNSHIP - On Sunday, Aug. 19, 2018 at approximately 11:45 p.m., Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers responded to a report of two intoxicated males with a broken down vehicle on Church Street East in Elora.
Police were further updated that the males and vehicle had left and were last seen travelling on Gerrie Road.
Officers located the four-door sedan and while speaking with the male driver, police formed the opinion that he was under the influence of alcohol. A roadside screening device (ASD) test was conducted which resulted in a fail.
He was arrested and brought to a local OPP Operations Centre for further testing.
