At approximately 7:50 pm, police responded to a traffic collision in the 4600 block of Joyce Avenue. An SUV had side-swiped another vehicle and both vehicles had pulled into a nearby parking lot. Police spoke to the 41-year-old male driver of the SUV and observed that he was slurring his words. The driver admitted to drinking prior to driving. The driver provided a breath sample, which registered a fail on the approved screening device. The driver provided a second sample, which also registered a fail. As a result, the driver was issued a 90-day driving prohibition under the Motor Vehicle Act and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
