Guelph man charged with impaired driving twice in three weeks
Guelph Police said they received a call about a possible impaired driver in the parking lot of a south-end apartment building around 1 a.m. A witness told police they saw the driver of a pick-up truck hit a fence and sign when parking.
When officers arrived, they saw a man sleeping in a rental pick-up truck that was left running. It allegedly took police about a minute of banging on the window to wake the man up, who then looked at officers before going back to sleep. When he was finally woken up a second time he got out of the pick-up.
Police said there was a strong smell of alcohol on the man's breath. He was arrested and taken to a police station, where tests confirm he had more alcohol in his system than the legal amount. Police also found he is a suspended driver after an arrest on June 29 for alleged impaired driving.
The 29-year-old Guelph was charged with a second count of impaired driving as well as driving while suspended. His licence was suspended for another 90 days and the pick-up truck was impounded for seven days.

The Little Stars Montessori Early Learning Center sign in Spruce Grove on Thursday, March 13, 2025. (Nav Sangha/CTV News Edmonton) Two people are facing charges after allegations of assault at the Little Stars Montessori Early Learning Center in Spruce Grove. On March 6, RCMP got a complaint about an alleged assault at the daycare on Pioneer Road. As a result of the investigation, police have laid charges against Dimpy Bawa, 32, and Shivani Shivani, 29. Bawa was charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and assault. Shivani was charged with two counts of assault. Both Bawa and Shivani were let go from the daycare at the 'onset' of the investigation, police said, and added that the daycare has been 'cooperative with investigators.' They have been released and are scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 17 in Stony Plain. Four victims have been identified, RCMP said. The assaults are said to have taken place on Feb. 19, 2025, with reports coming in between March 6 and March 12. Police believe there may be more victims. Little Stars daycare received a probationary licence in March due to 'safety concerns,' which temporarily removed their ability to care for infants. That licence expired June 12. The province has said that Child Care Licensing is monitoring the program.
