Impaired Driving Charges After Wawa Traffic Complaint

Impaired driving charges have been laid after a traffic complaint in Wawa.

Superior East OPP say they were received the complaint around 11:50 pm last Tuesday, told a person was observed operating a pickup truck erratically before parking it on the front lawn of a residence.

Officers arrived shortly after and determined the driver had operated the vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol, leading to charges of operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs and operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus).

The 30-year-old from Echo Bay has been released from custody with a future court date, though they've also been issued a 90-day Administrative Driver's Licence Suspension.
