Officers were dispatched to a traffic complaint in the area of Highway 89 in Mulmur on Oct. 25, just after 9:30 p.m.  After getting to the area, Dufferin OPP officers located the vehicle in question and were led into an impaired driving investigation. As a result, Michael Bachelder, 49, from Grey Highlands, has been charged with operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs and operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus). Bachelder is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville. His driver's licence was suspended 90 days, and their vehicle impounded for 7 days. None of the charges against Bachelder have been proven in court. The Dufferin OPP would like to remind motorists to plan ahead when consuming alcohol or drugs. “Use a designated driver, cab, rideshare, public transit or stay overnight. Any amount of alcohol or drugs can impact your ability to make sound judgements. In a split second you could ruin your future, injure or kill others, and tear a hole in the heart of everyone who loves you,” said Dufferin OPP's statement. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2024-10-31 11:54:46 Post date GMT: 2024-10-31 15:54:46 Post modified date: 2024-10-31 11:54:48 Post modified date GMT: 2024-10-31 15:54:48 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
