A pair of Guelph brothers are facing charges after an attempt to get one out of an impaired driving charge.
The Guelph Police Service was informed of a possible impaired driver on Saturday afternoon.
Officers were given a description of the vehicle and located it at a home just outside the city.
They identified the driver and asked him for a breath sample but not before a second man arrived and claimed to be his lawyer.

Investigators say the man was advised by the other individual not to give a breath sample to the officers.
He was eventually arrested and taken down to the police station, where breath tests confirmed that he was over the legal limit.

A further investigation determined that the other individual was the accused’s brother and not an actual lawyer.
A 49-year-old man is charged with impaired driving and obstructing police, and a 47-year-old man is charged with obstructing police and counselling to commit an indictable offence.
Both are scheduled to appear in a Guelph court on Nov. 22.
