Ontario Provincial Police say pre-flight drinks didn’t end well for a Sudbury man.

The 37-year-old was heading to the airport with some friends in a limo before 2 a.m. Sunday.

When the southbound vehicle broke down on Highway 400 near Quarry Road, OPP say a passenger tried to thumb a ride.

“The clearly intoxicated pedestrian was apprehended by several officers and taken to detachment for a period of time and later released when sober with a ticket in contravention of the Liquor Licence and Control Act,” police said in a news release.
