A call to police from a motorist who observed questionable driving skills of a Honda on Highway 10 approaching Shelburne has resulted in an impaired driver being taken off our roadways and making them a little safer. A Shelburne officer observed the vehicle and started an investigation. As a result 48 year old Shamsher Singh Chahil of Woodbridge was arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle. Breath tests indicate that the accused had more than double the legal limit of alcohol in his system. Chahil was charged with impaired operation and operate over 80. He was released on a promise to appear with a court date set for later this month. The Shelburne Police Service encourages all members of the public to call in any driving they observe to be worrisome or suspicious. Calling 9-1-1 is appropriate if there is concern for anyone’s safety due to a driver’s actions. The dangers of driving while impaired are significant all too often result in property damage, serious injury or even death.
