A caller concerned about a possible drunk driver ended up with impaired driving charges.
Provincial police were dispatched to find a possibly impaired driver on Highway 10 in the Town of Mono just before 5 a.m. on Saturday.
Officers located the suspect vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, yet the suspect registered a Pass at the roadside.
However, the original complainant also stopped to have a brief conversation with police. During that conversation, officers became concerned the caller might be the impaired driver.
