Guelph police nab 5 alleged drunk drivers over the weekend

In a busy weekend for Guelph police, officers pulled five drivers off the road and charged them with impaired driving.

Two of those drivers were involved in crashes, one on Friday evening at Paisley Road and Alma Street, and another just before noon on Sunday at Edinburgh Road and Wilsonview Avenue, police said.

No injuries from either crash were reported.

In another incident, police officers stopped a vehicle they say was driving erratically after the driver left a bar on Silvercreek Park early Sunday morning.

Police also arrested a 62-year-old man in the area of Gordon Street and Stone Road on Friday night, and a 30-year-old man near Victoria and Eastview roads on Sunday at around 2:30 a.m.

In all cases, officers say they smelled alcohol on the driver’s breath and testing at the police station confirmed they all had more than the legal limit of alcohol in their systems.
