Police say a 75-year old man wasn't supposed to be on the road due to prior impaired conviction

A 75-year old Niagara Falls man getting into further trouble in relation to impaired driving.

Police set up two RIDE check points last night, one in St. Catharines, the other in Niagara Falls.

They say they stopped about 500 vehicles, looking for impaired drivers by alcohol or drugs, and had 15 give breath samples.

Two drivers had results in the Alert range, leading to three day licence suspensions.

Additionally, the elderly man was charged with Operation While Prohibited, due to a prior impaired conviction and having his licence still under suspension.

Other tickets were also handed out for various infractions.
