According to the Peterborough Police Service, around 5 p.m., officers attended Beavermead Campground following reports of a suspected impaired driver who had just pulled into a campsite.
Officers located the suspect vehicle and the driver. Police say a subsequent breath test revealed the driver had more than three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system while operating a motor vehicle.
Joseph Henry Sampson, 70, of no fixed address, was arrested and charged with operation while impaired and operation while impaired with a blood-alcohol concentration of 80-plus.
He was issued an automatic 90-day driver’s licence suspension and a seven-day vehicle impoundment.
Sampson was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court in Peterborough on Sept. 10, police said Thursday.
