On July 7, 2013 around 5:30 AM, an officer on patrol observed a vehicle going the wrong way on Brock Street, near Confederation Street. The vehicle driver turned left onto eastbound Confederation. The officer activated the emergency equipment on the cruise in order to stop the car. The officer immediately recognized the driver from a noise complaint only one hour earlier.
The officer detected an odour of alcohol on the driver’s breath. A roadside screening device was produced and the driver provided a sample of his breath where he registered a “fail”. He was arrested. Alcohol was located beside the driver and a small amount of crystal methamphetamine was found near the driver’s door.
The 23 year old driver, from Sarnia, was taken to police headquarters for a breathalyzer test. His car was towed from the scene. He was later released and will appear in court on August 13 to face charges of Drive with Over 80 MG and Possession of Methamphetamine.
