Inspector Matt Hinton said a 24-year-old had driven his Black Ford Ranger along Auburn Street at about 5.30pm on Thursday, September 28 and parked the vehicle.
Members of the public observed him to "stumble out of the vehicle" and believed he could be affected by drugs or alcohol.
They alerted police, who attended a short time later. Inspector Hinton said the man "appeared to be intoxicated."
Police alleged he refused to supply his details to officers before being placed under arrest and taken to the station. They also alleged he resisted officers and returned a breath analysis reading of 0.252.
The Goulburn man was charged with high range PCA, second offence and resisting officer in the execution of their duty. His provisional licence was suspended and he was ordered to appear at Goulburn Local Court on October 18, 2023.
