Chatham-Kent police say at about 4:30am, a patrol officer stopped a car travelling unusually slow on James St., suspecting the driver was impaired.
It turned out the driver wasn't impaired but his licence is under suspension.
The 54-year-old man faces three counts of driving while under suspension and the car, which belongs to his girlfriend, was impounded for seven days.
SPS Board Chair Kelly Ash said the decision followed discussions with Acting Chief Mike Federico and aligns with practices at other police services.
