The vehicle was stopped west of Zurich. While the officer spoke to the driver, an odour of an alcoholic beverage could be detected coming from the driver's breath. The driver was read a breath sample demand for the approved screening device and the result was a fail for the driver. The driver was then arrested and taken to the Exeter Detachment where he provided two more samples of his breath to a qualified Breathalyzer Technician. The test results con- firmed that the driver had over two times the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mililitres of blood in his system at the time he was driving. A 43 -year-old Bayfield man was charged with oper- ating a motor vehicle with over 80 milligrams of alcohol. His driver's licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was towed from the scene. He will appear in Exeter Court April 24. PET ADOPTION BULLETIN Huron OSPCA (Ontario Humane Society) Tip Toes got her name because of the tiny bit of white she has on her toes.
