A late-night traffic stop in Angus turned into an impaired driving arrest after a driver was clocked at more than double the speed limit.
Around 11:30 Tuesday night, Nottawasaga OPP say an officer was conducting speed enforcement on Mill Street when a vehicle was recorded at 146 km/h in a posted 60 km/h zone and was driving without headlights.
The officer pulled the vehicle over, and during the stop, signs of impairment were observed, triggering an investigation.
The 28-year-old-Barrie man was arrested for impaired operation.
He was charged with multiple offences, including impaired driving by alcohol, operation while impaired with a blood alcohol concentration of 80 plus, dangerous operation, driving a motor vehicle with liquor readily available, and driving a motor vehicle with an open container of liquor.
The accused was released with a future court date.
