A 22-year-old Sarnia man faces numerous charges including drunk driving after a pick-up truck drove erratically through Canatara Park Friday night.

City police say at around 9:50pm, a green truck was seen driving through snow banks and running over signs.

A beer bottle was thrown from the pick-up at another vehicle in the parking lot causing a confrontation with other individuals.

The victim called police and the two vehicles were stopped without incident on southbound Christina St.

Jeremy Thomas Jones was arrested and taken to police headquarters where he allegedly blew over twice the legal limit. He's charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving, failing to remain, mischief over $5,000 and mischief under $5,000.
