A Peterborough man is facing charges after allegedly driving to the police station while impaired last week.
Peterborough Police Service say that just before midnight on Jan. 13, a man came to the station on Water Street to speak with an officer. Police say while speaking with the man in the front lobby, an officer smelled alcohol on the man’s breath.
A subsequent breath test revealed the man had more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system while operating a motor vehicle. It was also revealed that the man is a novice driver.
