Three people were charged with impaired driving in Woodstock early last week.

WOODSTOCK - The Woodstock Police Service is reminding everyone about the dangers of driving under the influence.

Charges have been laid in three separate impaired driving situations from early last week.

The first incident happened last Monday. Officers received a report about an impaired driver at 3:40 p.m. and they spotted that person swerving on the road and even driving up onto the sidewalk. A 24-year-old from Woodstock was not only charged with impaired driving, but also with failing to provide a breathalyzer test.

Officers charged a 29-year-old from Kitchener on Wednesday, after they spotted a vehicle hitting a curb on Nellis Street at around 9:30 p.m.. Police say he had more than double the legal limit of alcohol in his system.

A 21-year-old from Woodstock was also charged just hours later. Officers were called out to the area of Springbank Ave and Cree Ave at around 11:00 p.m. after a vehicle hit a street sign. The driver was taken to the police station, where it was discovered that he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

All three drivers face a 90 day licence suspension and their vehicles were impounded for a week.

If you spot someone who you believe is impaired behind the wheel you should call Woodstock Police at 519-537-2323.
