Man on a tractor charged with impaired driving by OPP

Ontario Provincial Police say a man on a tractor has been charged with impaired driving in the town of Erin.

Officers were called to a disturbance on Friday evening at a home in the town that is about 30 kilometres east of Guelph.

While they were on their way, officers were told that a suspect had left and was going back to his own home on a farm tractor, OPP said in a news release.

Police then went to the suspect’s home and, according to the news release, they could tell the man was drunk.

The 60-year-old man was arrested and charged with impaired driving. His driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and the tractor was impounded for seven days.
