A Guelph male faces impaired driving charges following an afternoon traffic stop Wednesday.
Police were in the area of Victoria Road South and York Road when they observed a male leaving a licensed establishment. Officers conducted a traffic stop a short distance away.
They detected a strong odour of alcoholic beverage coming from inside the vehicle. The male failed a roadside screening test and was transported to the police station, where further testing confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.
A 67-year-old Guelph male is charged with impaired operation. His driver’s licence was immediately suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for seven days. He will appear in a Guelph court March 4.
