A 43-year-old driver from Thessalon is facing an impaired charge after police received a report from a citizen on Tuesday evening.

In a release, police say they received a report around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday of a possible impaired driver in the 400 block of Great Northern Road. 

When officers responded, they say they found a woman standing next to the vehicle described to them.
