A 32-year-old man is facing impaired driving charges after nearly crashing into a police cruiser in Chatham.
Provincial police said the driver was pulled over just before 3 a.m. on Thursday after an officer on patrol was nearly hit by a vehicle on Grand Avenue East near Devonshire Road.
The investigating officer believed the driver was showing signs of intoxication and failed a roadside test.
The 32-year-old was arrested and transported to police headquarters for further tests.
He was later charged with impaired driving and driving while under suspension.
His license was also suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for one week.
