Police were called to a highway on Prince Edward Island in Canada on Thursday following reports a construction worker had trapped a drunk driver with his excavator so he couldn't flee
The worker told police he had held the man until authorities could arrive.
The 50-year-old driver of the car had gotten out to confront the operator about his work when he realized the man was intoxicated.
He told police he had tried to prevent the driver from fleeing by using the bucket on the excavator to trap his car.
The accused was taken to back to the police station where he recorded a blood alcohol reading three times the legal limit.
Sergeant Leanne Butler told CBC News that it was the first time she had seen anything like it.
'The officers responding probably haven't seen something like that before either,' she said.
'It was a different way, but it was effective.'
The man was arrested and charged.
