The man was arrested Sunday by [[w:Simcoe County, Ontario|South Simcoe]] Police after his pickup truck was pulled over on Ontario Provincial Highway 11 in [[w:Stroud, Ontario|Stroud]], [[w:Ontario|Ontario]], [[w:Canada|Canada]].  On the way to the police station for testing, the 59-year-old vomited, urinated, and defecated in the police cruiser. Sgt.

He was charged with impaired driving and driving over the limit and was released on a promise to appear in a [[w:Bradford, Ontario|Bradford]], Ontario court on May 12.
