A Chatham man is facing numerous charges, including impaired driving following a traffic stop.
Police stopped a vehicle on Victoria Ave. yesterday afternoon and detected the odour of alcohol on the driver's breath.
After failing a roadside test, the 53-year-old was taken to police headquarters where further tests showed he was nearly double the legal limit.
Charges included impaired driving, driving while disqualified, driving while suspended, no insurance, and un-validated permit. His vehicle was also impounded for 45 days.
