Getting stopped at a RIDE program near Ridgetown has resulted in charges for a Windsor man.
The Ontario Provincial Police said officers stopped a vehicle at around 3 p.m. on Sunday, while conducting the Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) checkpoint at the Victoria Road on-ramp to the westbound Highway 401.
While speaking to the driver, authorities spotted an open container of alcohol in the vehicle and the driver was arrested.

The accused was held for a bail hearing.
