Shortly thereafter a Perth County OPP officer located a vehicle matching the description on Hwy 23 south of Palmerston. The officer observed the vehicle weave in its lane and subsequently initiated a traffic stop. Upon speaking with the driver the officer determined that the male driver had been drinking alcoholic beverages.

Nathan MCCANN (22) of Kitchener failed two Intoxilyzer breath tests at the Palmerston OPP Detachment.
