GUELPH – Just before 5 p.m. Guelph police were dispatched to a business in the south end for reports of a man sleeping in a car which was blocking the driveway. Officers arrived and found the man still asleep, with the car running and the transmission in the 'drive' position. They woke the man, who was confused and slurring his speech and had dilated pupils.
An officer opened the door to turn off the vehicle and observed a pipe in the driver’s door handle. The man was arrested and transported to the police station, where a trained expert concluded his ability to drive was impaired by drugs.
A 37-year-old Cambridge man is charged with impaired driving. When he was released from custody the man was angry and punched the side mirror off a vehicle parked outside the police station. He was re-arrested for mischief under $5,000.
