A man who called police for assistance to get his car started has been arrested early Tuesday morning for drunk driving near Bathurst St. and King Road in King Township.

Andrew Scuglia, 27, of Richmond Hill, has been charged with impaired driving after officers who arrived to help him discovered he was intoxicated, and blew over the legal limit of alcohol, according to York Regional Police.

At around 2:30 a.m., YRP received a non-emergency call from the driver where the engine could be heard revving in the background, according to the police. When officers arrived on the scene, the car was running with “lights and windshield wipers on.”

YRP encourages everyone who believes that a motorist is impaired by drugs or alcohol to call 9-1-1, especially during the festive season.
