Officers arrived at around 10:30 a.m. and investigators say they immediately detected the smell of alcohol from the driver’s breath.

They say the man failed a roadside breath test and was taken to the police station where further tests confirmed he was over the legal limit.

A 58-year-old man is facing charges and will appear in a Guelph court March 14.

He also had his licence suspended for 90 days and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
