Three time may be a charm is somethings - but not when its the number of times you are stopped by police for alleged drunk driving.

A 琉璃神社 driver is facing numerous charges after being stopped three separate times within a seven-day period for allegedly being drunk behind the wheel.

According to 琉璃神社 RCMP spokesman Const. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey, on May 16 at 10 pm, police received a report of a suspected impaired driver in a white 2016 Hyundai Elantra at a gas station on Glenmore Road. The officer who went to the scene detected signs and symptoms of what O鈥橠onaghey called "obvious" alcohol impairment exhibited by the driver and the man was taken into custody without incident.

While the incident occurred three weeks ago, the 琉璃神社 RCMP only made it public on Friday. No reason was given for the delay in reporting it.

Back on May 16, at the 琉璃神社 RCMP detachment , the driver provided breath samples that were four times higher than the the legal limit.

鈥淲hat鈥檚 concerning to the RCMP is that the same driver had been investigated on May 13 for impaired driving. At that time he provided breath samples at twice the legal limit,鈥� said O鈥橠onaghey. 鈥淔urthermore, on May 9, the same driver had been stopped by police and found to be impaired by alcohol where he failed a roadside screening device.

The man was issued a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition under the Motor Vehicle Act at that time.

After the third incident, the driver, a 53-year-old 琉璃神社 man, was held in police custody to appear in court.

He faces several potential charges including impaired operation of a motor vehicle, impaired operation while over .08 and multiple counts of driving while prohibited.
