The officer stopped the truck which almost struck a wooden guide post as it was pulling over. The driver showed signs of being impaired and was arrested. He was taken to the Brighton detachment for further tests.

As a result of these tests, Michael CALLAHAN age 54 of Brighton is charged with Impaired Care & Control of a motor vehicle and Care & Control of a motor vehicle while his blood alcohol content exceeded 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood.

Police rely on the public to report crime and impaired driving is a crime that should be treated no differently. If you suspect that someone is driving or about to drive impaired, call 9-1-1 and report it. If you see that someone is impaired by alcohol or other drugs and intends on driving, strongly discourage them from driving and call 9-1-1 if they insist.
