Guelph man arrested for erratic driving

The Guelph Police Service arrested a driver following a traffic stop early Thursday morning.

Police said an officer was patrolling on Wellington Street West, near Edinburgh Road South, when he observed a vehicle being driven erratically.

After pulling the driver over, the officer noticed the odour of alcohol on the man, which led to a breathalyzer test that he then failed.

The man was arrested and further tests confirmed he had more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system.

The 36-year-old Guelph man was charged with impaired operation, driving with open alcohol, driving with an obstructed licence plate, and failing to provide proof of insurance.
