Police had their hands full as a suspected drunk driver tried to make a break for it on foot, cutting through backyards.
STRATFORD - A man has been charged after Stratford Police responded to reports of a possibly drunk driver.
On Saturday afternoon around 1 p.m. police attempted a traffic stop in the Whitelock and McNab area. The driver tried to make a break for it, running through backyards and jumping over fences. When officers caught up with him, they were able to arrest him without incident.
