LaSalle police arrest two suspected impaired drivers

LaSalle police have credited tips from the public in getting two suspected impaired drivers off the road.

The first driver was arrested on Friday afternoon. Police received a complaint about a driver who struck a fire hydrant in a residential area, then fled the scene.

The vehicle was found a short time later, and it was also reported that the driver had almost hit a pedestrian, and had two small children in the car.

The 46-year-old LaSalle resident was charged after a blood-alcohol level of four times the legal limit was detected.

The second driver was arrested on Saturday morning. Police responded to a call at around 6 a.m. about a driver stopped in the middle of Highway 3. Officers found the driver asleep behind the wheel.

The 37-year-old from Windsor allegedly blew three times the legal blood-alcohol limit and was arrested.

No injuries were reported in either incident.

The charges have not been proven in court.
