A Barrie man has been charged with impaired driving following a traffic stop in the Bayfield Street area early Sunday morning.
Huronia West OPP says officers responded to a traffic complaint around 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 1 about a possible impaired driver in Barrie. The vehicle was located, stopped and officers administered a roadside test using an alcohol-screening device.
Alberto Carrion Alvarez, 31, of Barrie, has been charged with adult operation while impaired (blood-alcohol concentration 80 plus) and adult operation while impaired (alcohol and drugs).
The previous evening, at around 7 p.m. on Nov. 30, officers also responded to multiple traffic complaints about a possible impaired driver in the area of River Road West in Wasaga Beach.
Officers located the vehicle on Fernbrook Drive and conducted a traffic stop. Police say officers noticed an odour of alcohol and again administered a roadside test using an alcohol-screening device.
