Two Guelph men face impaired driving charges following separate incidents on the weekend.
Approximately 9 p.m. Saturday police were called following a minor collision in a downtown parking lot. The complainant advised he was sitting in his car when another vehicle reversed into it, causing minor damage, then drove away. The complainant followed the other car and got the licence plate number.
Officers attended the owner’s address a short time later and could smell 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 38-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired driving.
Approximately 6:30 a.m. Sunday, an officer was driving an unmarked cruiser when a motorist passed at a high rate of speed and was clocked on radar travelling 107 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.
The officer followed the suspect and was eventually able to pull it over. The driver failed a roadside breath test and was transported to the police station, where further tests confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.
A 54-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired driving, speeding and stunt driving. His licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for 14 days.
