Just sitting in a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol can still result in charges.

That happened over the weekend in Hanmer when Greater Sudbury Police charged a 51-year old man with Having Care and Control of a vehicle and Blowing over 80.

Officers were on community patrols when they saw a vehicle parked far away from other vehicles in the Centennial Arena parking lot.

While speaking with the man officers suspected he was impaired.

A roadside screening proved that.

He was arrested and taken into police custody.
