A Chatham driver is facing several charges after being spotted stopped in downtown Chatham.

A concerned citizen called police yesterday morning to report a vehicle stopped in the intersection of King Street and Third Street, despite a green light.

Officers on scene suspected the driver may have been under the influence and brought him back to police headquarters for drug tests.

A search of the accused turned up suspected fentanyl.

The 38-year-old is charged with impaired driving, driving while under suspension, driving a motor vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock device, and drug possession.

The suspect’s vehicle was towed from the scene and impounded for 45 days.
