Shelburne man faces impaired charges, again
March 11, 2015 · 0 Comments
In the early afternoon on Friday March 6th while on patrol, a Shelburne police officer noticed a man he recognized driving a car on town streets. The officer was familiar with this man and was aware that he was arrested and charged by one of his colleagues in January for impaired operation and over 80 in Shelburne.
All impaired and over 80 charges result in immediate 90 day driver’s licence suspensions so the officer knew that this man was driving while his licence was under suspension.
The officer pulled the car over to deal with the suspension issue. While conducting the investigation, the officer developed concerns that the man had been drinking alcohol resulting in his arrest.
As a result of the investigation, 33 year old Travis Burke of Shelburne was arrested and charged with Driving While Under Suspension, and Over 80 Operation of a Motor Vehicle. This was Burke’s second Over 80 charge in two months.
Burke was released on a promise to appear with a court date later in March.
If anyone has any information in relation to this case or any other criminal activity, they are encouraged to contact the Shelburne Police Service at 519-925-3312 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.crimestopperssdm.com
