Driver arrested twice in same month for being impaired: OPP
The first arrest happened on the afternoon of June 8, after officers received a report about an individual who appeared intoxicated attempting to drive away from a business in Caledon.
Police arrived at the location in the area of Airport Road and Old Church Road and said they determined the driver had been drinking.
The 40-year-old from Caledon was arrested and charged with driving while under suspension, being intoxicated in public, failing or refusing to comply with demand, and operation while impaired by alcohol.
As a result of the charges, the vehicle was impounded for seven days and the driver's licence was suspended for 90 days, however, police say this didn't deter the accused from getting behind the wheel again three weeks later.
On Monday this week, Caledon OPP said it received a report about a suspected intoxicated person leaving a parking lot in the area of Airport Road and Old Church Road.
Officers attended, located the vehicle, conducted a traffic stop, and placed the driver under arrest. Police say the officers formed grounds the driver's ability to operate a vehicle was impaired by alcohol. They confirmed it was the same driver who was arrested in the June 8 incident.

Vehicle thefts have risen in Windsor, according to the Windsor police. CTV Windsor's Stefanie Masotti has tips on staying vigilant. With rising vehicle thefts in Windsor, police are sounding the alarm. 'It's happening all across Windsor. Not in one area in particular,' said Const. Andie Suthers. From July 22 to July 28, police responded to 11 vehicle thefts, which is a 57 per cent increase compared to the same week last year. Police are asking the public to be vigilant, since six of the vehicles were left unlocked with the keys still inside. 'This remains one of the most common ways that vehicles are being stolen,' said Suthers. Nine of the 11 thefts have been recovered so far, but police urge people to leave their cars locked, never leave the vehicle running or leave the keys in the vehicle. - With files from CTV's Stefanie Masotti
