Subsequently to the initial collision investigation and after obtaining a search warrant for the vehicle, police recovered a quantity of drugs, cash, and a fully loaded handgun.

The accused was held for a Bail Hearing scheduled for January 6, 2022 at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville.

If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it.
