They located the vehicle on the 8th Line and conducted a traffic stop.
Officers charged a 49-year-old man from Newmarket with operating a vehicle while impaired and operating a vehicle with an excess of blood alcohol.
In both cases, the driver's licences were suspended for 90 days, and both vehicles involved were impounded for one week.
