Upon arrival, officers located a man seated in the driver’s seat of a vehicle. While speaking with the driver, police detected an odour of alcohol on his breath and noted other signs of impairment. The man acknowledged having consumed alcoholic beverages earlier in the evening. A roadside breath test was administered, resulting in a fail. The male later provided breath samples to a qualified technician.
