A Guelph woman faces impaired driving charges following a driving complaint Monday evening.

Just after 7 p.m., staff from a west end business called police to report a possible impaired driver leaving the area. Officers intercepted the vehicle as it arrived at the owner’s home.

While speaking to the driver, officers detected an odour of alcoholic beverage on her breath. She failed a roadside screening test and was transported to the police station, where further testing confirmed she had more than the legal amount of alcohol in her system.

A 55-year-old Guelph woman is charged with impaired operation, driving while prohibited and driving while suspended.
