Ontario Provincial Police are thanking the public for alerting officers to an impaired driver, who was stopped in the parking lot of a liquor store in North Grenville.

In a post Friday morning on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, police said officers stopped the driver, "before they drove off again after a brief visit at a liquor store."

"The driver blew over four times the legal limit."

Police did not release any other information.

On Thursday, Ontario Provincial Police charged a dump truck driver with impaired and dangerous driving after the vehicle missed the off-ramp on Hwy. 417 at Maitland Avenue.

"The driver blew over 3x the legal limit," the OPP said.
