A traffic stop just south of Exeter has led to charges for a London man.
The stop took place just before midnight on January 11th when an officer noticed a southbound car on London Road traveling with a license plate that wasn’t authorized for the vehicle.
Police stopped the car and noticed that the driver was observing sever signs of impairment, so the driver was arrested.
The driver was searched and police found suspected cocaine, and more suspected cocaine along with an open can of beer was found in the vehicle.
Officers tried to confirm the identity of the driver, but the accused gave them a license that was not issued to him, and further investigation revealed the driver was a suspended driver.
The man was taken to the Exeter OPP Detachment where breath tests confirmed he was impaired.
A 36-year-old is facing impaired driving charges among charges for open liquor, driving while suspended, obstruction of justice, and possession of cocaine.
The man will be in a court on February 20th to answer to the charges, his vehicle was also impounded and his license has been suspended for 90 days.
