From ditch dodging to impaired
Just before 6 a.m. this morning, an off-duty officer observed a possible impaired driver on Queens Line.
The vehicle almost rolled into the ditch so the officer stopped to check on the well-being of the driver.
Through investigation, police believed the man was driving while under the influence and he was arrested. The man was transported to police headquarters where a Drug Recognition Expert conducted an evaluation. As a result, the DRE officer believed the man was impaired by a drug.
A 27-year-old Blenheim man has been charged with impaired driving and driving while under suspension. He was also arrested on two outstanding warrants. He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.
