Impaired Driver Over Three Times The Legal Limit

A driver has been charged after allegedly blowing over three times the legal limit north of London.

The Ontario Provincial Police announced on Monday that officers arrested a 35-year-old man from Lucan Biddulph after getting a report of vehicle driving erratically on October 15.

Police say officers stopped a Ford pickup truck that was speeding on Richmond St. near Fourteen Mile Rd. and conducted a roadside screening test, which the driver failed.

The man was taken to a Middlesex County OPP detachment for breath tests, which revealed he had consumed more than three times the legal limit of alcohol.

The 35-year-old man has been charged with driving with more than 80 mgs of alcohol in blood.
