The vehicle was intercepted by a keen-eyed Dufferin OPP officer who conducted a traffic stop on St. Mark’s Crescent in the Town of Mono. The traffic stop led into an impaired operation investigation. 

As a result of the investigation, Ajitpal MANN, 41-year-old, from Mono has been charged with:

• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville, in June of 2022, to answer to the charges. The accused driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and their vehicle impounded for seven days.
