Two charged with impaired driving

Windsor police laid charges in two separate impaired driving incidents early Friday.

Just after midnight, officers were called for a possible impaired driver in the area of Tecumseh Road East and Drouillard Road. When they arrived they found a man asleep behind the wheel, with his foot on the brake and the vehicle still in drive.

The driver was placed under arrest. A search of the vehicle uncovered multiple packages of suspected fentanyl and cocaine.

The 39-year-old was charged with impaired operation and possession of a scheduled substance for trafficking.

Officers were then called to a two-vehicle collision in a parking lot on Dougall Avenue.

Police reported they detected a strong odour of alcohol and saw signs of impairment.

The 65-year-old was charged with impaired driving.
