ATIKOKAN — A 37-year-old faces multiple charges after being found driving a commercial motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

Provincial police said a public complaint about dangerous driving led to a traffic stop on Monday morning, where the truck driver failed a field sobriety test and was arrested at the scene.

The truck driver has been charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving, driving a vehicle with an open container of liquor, and failing to maintain a daily log.

The driver had their licence suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.

The accused has been released from custody and is due to appear in an Atikokan court next month.
