Local police officers arrested and charged a Collingwood driver found circling a roundabout in the wrong direction.
According to a news release from the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, officers spotted the vehicle going the wrong way and pulled it over on Nov. 4 just before midnight.
"During the traffic stop the officer suspected that the driver had consumed alcohol. An approved screening device breath sample was completed roadside and ultimately lead to a fail," states the news release.
"The driver, a 22 year-old male from Collingwood, was transported to detachment for a breath test where it was determined his blood/alcohol concentration was 1.5 times the legal limit."
Police confirmed the same man was arrested on Aug. 4 and charged with impaired driving following a single-vehicle collision.
The latest charges include one count of operation while impaired -- alcohol and drugs, and one count of operation while impaired with a blood alcohol concentration over 80. He was also charged under the Highway Traffic Act for driving a vehicle with no licence.
The accused received a 90-day drivers' licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
The man will face the charges in court later.
If you suspect someone of driving while impaired, call the OPP 1-888-310-1122 or dial 911 to report it.
