Ontario Provincial Police say a driver from Augusta Township is facing an impaired driving charge after someone on Highway 416 spotted a vehicle moving erratically.

OPP said officers received a complaint that someone was driving all over the road near Kemptville Sunday night.

A 31-year-old driver was stopped and blew three times the legal limit on a breathalyzer, police claimed. Open alcohol was also found in the car. 

Impaired drivers face an immediate roadside licence suspension of 90 days, a 7-day vehicle impound and a $550 fine for a first offence. Conviction could lead to a licence suspension of at least one year and a requirement to use an ignition interlock device for at least 1 year, in addition to additional fines and possible jail time.
