In addition to having the vehicle impounded for seven days, the accused has been suspended from driving for 90 days.
They were released and are scheduled to appear in court Aug. 16.
"The OPP would like to remind the public that if you see a possible impaired driver on our roadways, waterways, or trails, please 'make the call,' and dial 911 as impaired driving never ends well, please plan a way to get home safely," police said.
