KINGSTON, Ont. — Police say a man being investigated for impaired driving showed officers his Costco card when asked for his driver’s licence.

Investigators say a witness called police in Kingston, Ont., around midnight on Sunday after a pickup truck crashed into a car while parking and the driver then stumbled away from the scene, using nearby walls for support.

Officers located a man standing at a nearby corner and say the witness identified him as the person who left the pickup.

When asked for his driver’s licence, they say the man first pulled a Costco card from his wallet, then his firearms licence, before finally locating the required identification.
