The Ontario Provincial Police continue to pull over drivers suspected of impaired driving in Essex County, netting five more over the weekend.
Drivers from Leamington, Kingsville, Windsor, Belle River, and Guelph were charged after they were pulled over by OPP officers on Saturday and Sunday.
The first charged was a 36-year-old Leamington man who was pulled over on Road 3 West near County Road 29 in Kingsville early Saturday morning.
Officers charged the man with operating a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol concentration over the legal limit, having control of a vehicle with an unsealed container of liquor, and having liquor in an open container in an unauthorized place.
An hour later, police pulled over another vehicle for a traffic violation on Main Street East in Kingsville, and the driver was charged with being over the legal alcohol-blood concentration and obstructing a peace officer.
A 64-year-old Kingsville man will appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Windsor on December 22.
Just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, the OPP pulled over a third vehicle after a traffic infraction on Tecumseh Road in Tecumseh. A 37-year-old driver from Windsor now faces impaired driving charges, speeding, failure to surrender a permit for the vehicle, and failure to surrender an insurance card.
Just after midnight on Sunday, officers pulled over a vehicle on Lake Drive near Lakeview Drive in Lakeshore and charged a 31-year-old Belle River man. He also faces impaired driving charges and charges of having an open container of alcohol in the vehicle.
Then around 5:40 p.m. on Sunday, police pulled over a vehicle on Naylor Side Road in Lakeshore after a complaint and arrested a 38-year-old Guelph man for allegedly driving impaired.
All five drivers had their licenses suspended for 90 days, while their vehicles were impounded for a week.
