A vehicle travelling at night without rear lights caught the attention of Lanark County OPP and led to an impaired driving investigation in Carleton Place.
Police say an officer stopped the vehicle on Townline Road shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18.
The driver was arrested and taken to the Carleton Place OPP detachment for testing.
Gregory Lavallee, 47, of Petawawa, has been charged with impaired driving and having a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit.
He also faces charges for driving without proper rear lights, driving without a licence and having liquor readily available in the vehicle.
Lavallee was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Perth court Nov. 23.
His driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
The charges have not been proven in court.
