The Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) charged a driver for impaired operation following a traffic complaint called in by a concerned citizen before noon.
On Tuesday, November 30, 2021, at approximately 11:51 a.m., a concerned citizen contacted police to report a possible impaired driver on Centennial Road in the Town of Orangeville. Officers located the vehicle, commenced a traffic stop and were led into an impaired driving investigation.
As a result, a 21-year-old from Caledon, has been charged with:
• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
The accused was scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville in February 2022, to answer to the charge. Their driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and the vehicle impounded for a period of seven days.
The charge was later dropped.
The Dufferin OPP reminds motorists to plan ahead when consuming alcohol or drugs. Use a designated driver, cab, rideshare, public transit or stay overnight.
