A man wearing a pair of skates drove through a red light heading to an outdoor rink.

Police saw a car fail to stop at Wellington Street West and John Street at about 7 p.m. on Saturday.

The driver told police he was going to Esposito Park.

There was a smell of alcohol on the driver’s breath. He was supposed to avoid alcohol. The man was given two breathalyzer tests, but was not intoxicated.

Driving with skates “is probably not very safe” because the motorist has limited contact with the brake and gas pedals, said Staff Sgt. Ken Hruska.

Derek Lepage, 45, of 397 Northland Rd., was charged with breach of an undertaking.

His court date is March 4.
