An alarm call at a south-end business Thursday evening led to an impaired operation charge for a Guelph man.
Just before 8 p.m. officers responded to an alarm call at a business near Laird Road and Quarterman Road. All doors to the business were secure, however officers noticed an occupied vehicle in the parking lot.
Officers went to speak to the man and noted several empty alcohol bottles inside the vehicle and the keys in the ignition. He had bloodshot eyes and a strong odour of alcohol on his breath. After failing a roadside breath test he was arrested and transported to the police station, where further tests confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.
A 57-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired operation.
