A Guelph man faces an impaired operation charge after he was found drinking in a parked vehicle Thursday afternoon.
Approximately 3:45 p.m. police were dispatched to an address on Gordon Street near Clairfields Drive for reports of a male who had soiled himself drinking in a running vehicle. Police located the man sitting in a pickup with an open beer in the console and a case of beer on the passenger side.
Officers detected a strong odour of alcohol on his breath and noted signs of impairment. 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 70-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired operation.
