Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged two drivers with impaired operation.
On February 24, 2023, at approximately 7:13 p.m., a motorist contacted the OPP to report a vehicle on Highway 9, near Albion Trial, being operated in a concerning manner. While officers were enroute to the location, a second call was received involving the same vehicle to report that it was now involved in a single motor vehicle collision. During the course of the investigation, the driver was arrested for impaired operation since officers formed grounds that their ability to operation a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.
As a result a 40-year-old of Orangeville was charged with:
• Operation while impaired – alcohol
• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
The accused is scheduled to attend the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on March 17, 2023, to answer to the charges.
On February 26, 2023, at approximately 1:46 a.m., Caledon OPP was dispatched to a break and enter. The complainant reported that someone had gained access to their residence by breaking through the front door.
Officers arrived at the residence on Winston Churchill Boulevard, near King Street, and located the accused inside the house. Further information revealed that the accused was involved in a collision nearby. Officers formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol and subsequently made an arrest. The accused was transported to hospital to treat the injuries sustained from the single motor vehicle collision.
As a result of the investigation a 44-year-old of Brampton was charged with:
• Operation while impaired – alcohol
• Break & enter
• Driving motor vehicle with open container of liquor
The accused is scheduled to attend the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on March 16, 2023, to answer to the charges.
The two vehicles from the two separate incidents were impounded for a period of seven days. The driver’s licences were suspended for 90 days.
Drivers are reminded that no amount of alcohol or drugs in your system is safe when driving. 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.
