Suspected impaired driver call leads to seizure of drugs, gun in Cambridge

A 45-year-old Cambridge man is facing a list of charges following a suspected impaired driver call.

It was around 9:15 a.m. on Wednesday when officers responded to a call in Cambridge, bringing them to a parking lot on Hespeler Road near Pinebush Road.

Officers were notified of a man sleeping behind the wheel in the drivers seat, with his door open.

Police arrived on scene and arrested that man, locating and seizing suspected methamphetamine and a firearm as part of their investigation.

That Cambridge man has since been charged with:

• Operation while impaired by drug
• Possession of suspected methamphetamine
• Unsafe storage of a firearm
• Unauthorized possession of a firearm

Police say that man will appear in court on August 7.

Anyone that suspects an impaired driver, or witnesses driving behaviour that puts others at risk, is encouraged to call 9-1-1.
