It is alleged that a 2001 Chevrolet Impala entered the checkpoint and upon speaking with the driver it was determined that he had been consuming alcoholic beverages. A roadside breath demand was made, and the result of that test was a "fail." The male was arrested and further tests indicated that the 18 -year-old Kitchener male was over the legal blood alcohol limit. The male will appear in Sarnia Court Aug. 4 to answer to the charges of being over the legal limit, driving contrary to license conditions and failing to provide an insurance card.
