Provincial police laid impaired driving charges yesterday a week after getting multiple reports of concerning driving behaviour in Tay.
On June 20, around 11:20 a.m., Southern Georgian Bay OPP responded to complaints of a pickup truck driving erratically in the area of Highway 12 and Reeves Road.
Police say the vehicle was reportedly leaving the roadway, had struck a sign, and eventually came to a stop on a nearby private laneway. The suspect vehicle was found soon after parked at a residence.
Officers investigated and found the driver to be impaired. The 61-year-old man from Tay was arrested and transported to the detachment where further testing determined he exceeded the legal blood alcohool content limit.
He was charged with two impaired operation offences and is set to appear before a court in Midland on August 6.
Until then, the man faces a 90-day licence suspension and seven-day vehicle impoundment.
