Date: Saturday, May 17, 2014 – 10:30pm
On Friday May 16, 2014 at approximately 1030 pm a Barrie Police uniform officer on routine patrol observed a male driver operating a grey Lexus at a high rate of speed along Melrose Avenue.
The officer followed the vehicle as the driver pulled into a driveway and exited the vehicle and began to walk away from the vehicle.
As the officer questioned the male driver about his driving habits the officer determined that the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle was impaired by the amount of alcohol that the driver had consumed.
The male driver was arrested for Impaired Care and Control and was transported to the station in order to provide breath samples.
The driver blew over the legal limit as a result the 46 year old male was released with a future court date where he will face Impaired Care and Control and Over 80 Mg charges.
