Three impaired arrests on weekend
Three motorists face impaired driving charges following separate incidents over the weekend.
Just after 11 p.m. Friday, police were dispatched to a parking lot on Kortright Road West for a report of a female sleeping in a running vehicle for the past two hours. Officers arrived and found a woman sleeping in the driver’s seat.
Officers woke her and noted a glass pipe under the driver’s seat. Quantities of suspected cocaine and crack cocaine were located in the driver’s purse. The woman had difficulty staying awake during the interaction with officers and was transported to the police station, where an officer trained in drug evaluation determined her ability to operate a vehicle was impaired.
A 27-year-old Guelph woman is charged with impaired driving and two counts of possessing a controlled substance.
Approximately 5:30 p.m. Saturday, police were called for a collision at Victoria Road North and Eramosa Road. One of the drivers reported he had been rear-ended and he believed the other driver was impaired.
Officers arrived and spoke to the male, who has a strong odour of alcohol on his breath and other signs of impairment. He was arrested and transported to the police station, where testing confirmed he had more than three times the legal amount of alcohol in his system.
A 48-year-old St. Clements man is charged with impaired driving.
Just before 8 p.m. Sunday, police were notified of a possible impaired driver leaving an address on Woolwich Street. Officers located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop a short time later. While speaking to a male officers noted a strong odour of alcohol on his breath and that he had urinated himself.
He was arrested and transported to the police station, where tests confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system. A 48-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired driving and driving while suspended.
Each of the accused had their licences suspended for 90 days and their vehicles impounded for seven days. They were all released with upcoming court dates.
