The Guelph Police Service is reminding the public not to drive under the influence after a Puslinch man was arrested for impaired driving, even after being warned not to drive.

Guelph police were called to a business near Gordon Street and Claire Road around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. The caller said a man had tried to buy alcohol from their establishment, but staff refused him because he seemed intoxicated.

The manager of the business warned the man that police would be called if he drove.

He then left in his pickup truck and officers pulled him over after finding the truck on Arkell Road.

Police say the man showed signs of impairment and was unsteady on his feet.

He was arrested and taking to the police station where tests showed he had more than twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system.

A 63-year old man was charged with impaired driving and had his license suspended for 90 days.
