Then an hour later someone contacted police to report a driver they suspected was drunk. Police found a 43-year old man in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle on McKeown Avenue. He was arrested and later charged with:

  • one count of care and control of vehicle while impaired;
  • one count of refuse to provide sample; and
