Impaired driver ditches car
January 14, 2015 · 0 Comments
On January 10, at 3:17 a.m. Dufferin OPP officers were patrolling Dufferin County Rd 11 between County Rd 10 and 15th Sideroad in Amaranth Township. Officers located a 2010 Ford Escape in the west ditch facing northbound.
Officers spoke with the female driver and detected an odour of alcohol on her breath. She was given a roadside screening device test and failed. She was arrested and taken to detachment for breath test.
Once the investigation was concluded, Haley Hodge, 22, of Amaranth was charged with Care and Control while impaired by alcohol contrary to Criminal Code of Canada.
The Administrative Drivers’ Licence Suspension (ADLS) program was initiated and her motor vehicle was impounded for seven days.
The accused is scheduled to make his first appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date.
If you suspect that someone is driving or is about to drive impaired, call 9-1-1 and report it. If you see that someone is impaired and intends on driving, do not let them drive.
