GUELPH POLICE SERVICE

Police had to use a siren to alert the driver, who narrowly missed the police vehicle.
Concerned for public safety, police attempted to speak to the driver. The driver suddenly fled on foot. A foot pursuit ensued and the driver was eventually apprehended.
After briefly speaking to the male, police demanded a roadside sample of his breath for analysis. The male failed said analysis and was arrested.
The 31-year-old Guelph male was charged with impaired driving – BAC at or above 80 and obstruct police.
