Waterloo Regional Police say they made an arrest in the city of Waterloo after several residents reported a suspected drunk driver travelling the wrong way along Erb Street East.
They say a man’s vehicle hit a median on Highway 85 before it exited onto Bridgeport Road.
The vehicle hit two others on that road before making a wrong turn.
“The driver was observed travelling westbound on the one-way street on Erb Street East and was travelling towards oncoming traffic,” police spokesperson Andre Johnson told Global News.
Police say the suspect fled his vehicle in a nearby parking lot before officers arrived at the scene but they tracked him down a short time later.
“The individual was found to be in possession of identity documents, a stolen catalytic converter and in possession of stolen licence plates,” Johnson said.
The vehicle was also allegedly stolen as well.
A 36-year-old Kitchener man was arrested and is facing a multitude of driving and stolen property-related charges.
