The arrest came after officers received numerous reports of a suspected drunk driver who was allegedly swerving all of the road. When police found the driver and initially tried to drive a traffic stop, the driver ran a red light.
When police did stop and arrest the driver, a roadside test reportedly showed the driver had four-and-half-times the legal limit of alcohol in their system.
The driver has since been charged with two counts of impaired driving. In addition to the two charges, the driver was slapped with a 90-day driver’s license suspension and a seven-day vehicle impound.
Woodstock police also shared their thanks with the members of the public who reported the driver to police.
