A 25-year-old man has been charged following a traffic stop early Saturday morning.

Constable Steven Duguay said the officer spoke with the driver and determined that the driver had been drinking. Following a roadside test, the driver was arrested.

The Lakeshore man has been charged with operating a vehicle while impaired with over 80 milligrams of alcohol in blood.

A seven-day vehicle impoundment was implemented, along with a 90-day driver's licence suspension.

The driver was released with a future date in a Windsor court.
