At 2 this morning Police were on duty in the area of the Esso City Service Center in Pembroke. While there, a Police officer observed a male driver having difficulty maneuvering his car out of a parking space on the premises. The officer attempted to stop the driver to find out if he was OK, but the man drove off. With the assistance of another Police vehicle the car was made to stop on Woodlands Road and the driver, a 27 year old St. George’s man, was spoken to. The St. George’s man appeared to be intoxicated and was arrested on suspicion of impaired driving. He was then taken to Hamilton Police Station where he was detained after failing the alco-analyser test.
