Superior East OPP Respond to 3 Local Incidents (Including Man with Samurai Sword on Golf Cart)

Local police have been kept busy in recent days.
The first incident happened shortly before 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, as Superior East Ontario Provincial Police responded to a complaint that someone was operating a golf cart on Pinewood Drive in Wawa - officers located the driver and found them to be in possession of several knives and a samurai sword, with further investigation revealing they did not have permission to use the golf cart.
The 27-year-old Wawa man's been charged with failure to comply with release order, take motor vehicle without consent, driving while under suspension, operate unsafe vehicle, drive motor vehicle - no permit, drive with seatbelt assembly modified, and drive without proper headlights.
He's been released from custody, with a future court date.

Around 10 o'clock that night, officers conducting traffic enforcement on Highway 129 in Chapleau Township stopped a northbound minivan travelling at a high rate of speed.
While speaking with the driver, the officers detected the odour of an alcoholic beverage on the driver's breath, with a subsequent breath sample registering "fail" on an Approved Screening Device, leading to their arrest.
The 22-year-old Sault Ste. Marie man's been charged with operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus) and speeding 1 to 49 kilometres an hour over posted limit - he's been released from custody with a future court date.

Officers also responded to a domestic dispute in Hornepayne around 2 o'clock Thursday morning.
