A 49-year-old man from Highgate is facing several charges after a traffic stop in Lambton County.

At around 12 p.m. on Tuesday, a member of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was alerted by the Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) system about a potential suspended driver on the road.

The officer pulled the vehicle over on Inwood Road, south of Shiloh Line, and arrested the driver.

He was charged with operating a vehicle while prohibited, obstructing a peace officer, driving while under suspension, and not identifying themself.

The vehicle was also impounded for 45 days.

The driver has since been released from police custody and is scheduled to appear in a Sarnia provincial courtroom on April 1.
