A London man faces impaired driving and obstruction charges after falsely identifying himself as his twin brother to police early Sunday.
Just after 2 a.m. the Guelph police were notified of a possible impaired driver entering the city from Puslinch. Officers located the vehicle on Gordon Street near Maltby Road and observed it to be driving erratically.
A traffic stop was conducted. The driver, who identified himself using his twin brother’s licence, registered a fail on a roadside screening device. He was arrested and transported to the police station, where further testing confirmed he had more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system. A check of provincial databases confirmed his true identity.
A 24-year-old London man is charged with impaired operation and obstructing police.
