Cape Breton Regional Police have arrested and charged a 32-year-old man for allegedly driving while impaired in Sydney, N.S., on Sunday.
Police say they arrested a man in the “early hours” of Sunday after officers observed a vehicle stopped at a George Street intersection while the light was green.

Once the light turned yellow the vehicle proceeded through the intersection, crossing over between lanes.
Police say that upon further investigation — including a drug recognition evaluation and a breath test — the driver was charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle by drug.
The 32-year-old from Frenchvale, N.S., also had his driver’s license suspended for seven days under the province’s Motor Vehicle Act after he allegedly had a blood alcohol content between .05 and .08.
Officers also located rolled cannabis joints in the man’s car and issued the driver a ticket for illegally transporting cannabis in a vehicle.
The man has been released on a promise to appear in Sydney Provincial Court on May 6, 2019.
