While speaking with the driver, officers say they detected an odour of alcohol on the driver’s breath.

“A subsequent breath sample revealed the driver had more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system while operating a motor vehicle,” police said.

Christopher Gunsolus, 38, of Douglas Avenue, was arrested and charged with impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle with more than 80 milligrams blood-alcohol content.

He was also charged under the Highway Traffic Act with careless driving and driving a motor vehicle with no licence. His vehicle was impounded for seven days.
