A member of the Chatham-Kent Police Service seen in Chatham, Ont. on April 10, 2025. (Chris Campbell/CTV News Windsor) A man is facing impaired driving charges after the Chatham-Kent Police Service said a vehicle was seen driving erratically in Chatham. On Monday just before 6:30 p.m., a traffic complaint was made, reporting a vehicle driving 'aggressively and recklessly'. According to CKPS, a pick-up truck was seen driving erratically southbound on St. Clair Street, hitting curbs and not stopping at several intersections. The driver was also reportedly honking and yelling at drivers. The CKPS found the driver at a home in Chatham. The 49-year-old man allegedly showed signs of impairment and refused to give officers identification. Several opportunities were given to present the documents, but the suspect refused. Officers told the man that by refusing to provide documentation, a police investigation was being obstructed, and the suspect would be arrested if he did not comply with police's requests. A news release from the CKPS said the man tried to shut the door on officers. After talking to the suspect, police said they developed reasonable grounds to believe he was driving impaired. The man was arrested and faces charges for obstructing peace officers, operation while impaired, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration over 80.
