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.

All had their driver’s licences suspended for 90 days and their vehicles impounded for seven days.

They’re all scheduled to make court appearances next month.
