A 47-year-old Essex man is charged with driving with excessive blood-alcohol concentration.

The second arrest was in Leamington on Thursday morning. Police responded to a complaint about a suspicious vehicle.

A 29-year-old Leamington man has been charged with impaired driving and driving with excessive blood-alcohol.

Finally, a traffic stop was conducted on Herring Street in Essex shortly before 3 a.m. on Friday.

A 45-year-old Essex man is charged with impaired driving and failure or refusal to comply with a demand.

The charges have not been proven in court.

All three drivers had their vehicles impounded for seven days, and will have a chance to respond to the charges in a Windsor court in mid-July.
