A keen-eyed citizen spotted a possibly impaired driver at a drive-thru in Gravenhurst.

The person made a quick call to Bracebridge Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) at about noon Thursday.

Police located the car and charged a 27-year-old Washago man with impaired driving offences.

He will appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on April 28 to answer to his charges.

It’s that easy.

If you suspect someone is driving a vehicle of any kind while impaired, call 911. Police will make every effort to locate the involved vehicle many times, these investigations result in charges and removing impaired drivers from our roads.
