Const. Burns said the officer read a demand to the driver to accompany the officer to the Enfield Detachment where they would be subjected to a drug evaluation by a Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE).
“While the evaluation was being conducted, the driver suddenly refused to perform the tests,” he said.
He said charges for impaired driving, refusing to undergo the drug evaluation and driving while their licence was revoked are pending against the man.
