Investigators say the driver was awakened by officers and was showing signs of impairment. An officer recognized the vehicle as one that was at the scene of a break-in at the Wilson Street parkade earlier in the day.
They say the man was evaluated by a drug recognition expert and was determined to be impaired by drugs. A search turned up controlled substances, drug paraphernalia, and a wallet containing pieces of identification under several names.
The vehicle was also reported stolen from a downtown business.
A 34-year-old man was held for a bail hearing.
