Barrie Police rounded up a pair of suspected impaired drivers during traffic stops early Monday.
Around 12:30, police say a traffic stop was initiated on Lakeshore Drive between Tiffin Street and Minet's Point Road after officers spotted the vehicle "swerving" all over the road. During a search of the vehicle, police say they found empty beer cans in the driver's side door.
Police say a 43-year-old Woodville man was taken to police headquarters for a breath test, where he allegedly blew nearly three-and-a-half times the legal limit.
He was charged with impaired driving by alcohol and drugs, and operation while impaired over 80.
A few hours later, another driver was stopped after an officer saw a vehicle being driven without headlights on.
Police say the officer smelled alcohol and a roadside test was conducted.
The 23-year-old Barrie man was arrested and, like the first driver, was charged with impaired operation and operating with a blood alcohol concentration over 80.
The charges have not been proven in court.
