A Millbrook man faces impaired driving charges after police arrested him in the drive-thru of a fast-food restaurant in Peterborough early Sunday.

Just before 3 a.m., police were notified about a possible impaired driver at a restaurant on Lansdowne St. West.

Police say a male driver was in the lineup when another vehicle pulled up and drove into the back of his vehicle.

“The complainant exited his vehicle and spoke with the male driver of the suspect vehicle,” police stated. “Believing the driver was impaired, police were called and attended.”

Police conducted a breath test. According to the test, police said the suspect driver had approximately twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system.
