Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged a driver reported as suspicious with impaired operation.
On December 9, 2023, just before 8:00 p.m., a concerned citizen reported a suspicious vehicle in a restaurant parking lot in Bolton. Caledon OPP responded and located the driver. During the investigation, grounds were formed that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.
A 24 year old of Brampton was charged with:
• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
• Operation while impaired – alcohol
The driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle was impounded for seven. The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on December 28, 2023, to answer to the charges.
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.
With the holiday season fast approaching, the need to make those alternate arrangements will increase. In Caledon, HomeJames offers a FREE designated driver service. The program runs from November 17 to December 31, every Friday and Saturday from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. (excluding December 24). More information is available at: https://www.homejames-
