Officers from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Caledon Detachment stopped and charged a driver following public complaints about the vehicle’s driving.
On Tuesday, December 7, 2021 at approximately 4:10p.m., a concerned member of the public reported an erratic motor vehicle westbound on King Street in the Town of Caledon. Members of the OPP Caledon RIDE Unit were able to intercept and stop the vehicle near Coleraine Drive and Harvest Moon Drive soon after.
Upon stopping the vehicle members found the vehicle over flowing with partially full and empty alcohol containers.
The driver showed signs of impairment and was arrested at the scene. The driver was transported to the Caledon Detachment where breath samples were submitted resulting in results of over three times the legal limit.
The driver was also found to be suspended for two recent impaired driving arrests.
As a result of the investigation, a 58 year old from Oshawa has been charged with:
- Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle
- Operating a Vehicle with Over 80mgs of Alcohol in Blood
- Drive while Under Suspension
- Novice Driver Blood Alcohol Concentration Above Zero
- Drive with Liquor Readily Available
- Drive with Cannabis Readily Available
- Use Plates Not Authorized for Vehicle
- Fail to Apply for Permit on Becoming Owner of Vehicle
The accused’s vehicle was impounded and license further suspended for an additional 90 days.
The Caledon OPP Detachment encourages drivers to plan ahead if they choose to consume 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. There is no excuse for impaired driving.
