A Wallaceburg man is facing charges after the vehicle he was driving was flagged by the OPP’s automated licence plate recognition system.

An officer on patrol stopped the suspect vehicle on Knoll Road shortly before noon on Sunday.

Authorities say the driver was showing signs of intoxication, and failed a roadside test.

The 41-year-old was taken to the Chatham OPP detachment and was later charged with driving while impaired, driving under suspension, and driving a vehicle without a valid permit.

A 90 day license suspension was also issued and the vehicle impounded for seven days.
