Peterborough police have charged two drivers with impaired driving over the past week, police said Monday.
According to police, 35-year-old Peter Joseph Hennessey, of Keene, Ont, is facing multiple charges, including impaired driving, after police conducted a traffic stop in the Township of Cavan Monaghan on Dec. 10.
Police said an officer was speaking with Hennessey at the traffic stop when the officer allegedly smelled alcohol on the driver’s breath. Police said a breath test revealed that the driver had a blood-alcohol level more than the legal limit.
