A Guelph man faces an impaired driving charge after he was pulled over early Sunday.

Officers were patrolling in the area of Gordon Street and Kortright Road when they saw a male walking to a vehicle and noted he appeared unsteady on his feet. He was pulled over a short time later and had an odour of alcoholic beverage on his breath.

After failing a roadside breath test he was arrested and transported to the police station, where further testing confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.

A 31-year-old man is charged with impaired driving. His driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was seized for seven days.
