A pair of New Brunswickers are facing charges after local police were warned of a possible impaired driver on Highway 17.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they were notified about the possible impaired driver operating a four door sedan in White River around 5:56 pm last Tuesday, March 29th - the vehicle was located, with further investigation revealing the driver was impaired and discovering a small amount of suspected methamphetamine in the vehicle.
That led to the arrest of the driver - a 26-year-old from Maple Glen, New Brunswick - on charges of operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs and possession of a schedule I substance - methamphetamine, while a passenger - a 23-year-old from Wheaton Settlement, New Brunswick - is also charged with possession of a schedule I substance - methamphetamine.
Both were released from custody, with a May court date in Wawa's Ontario Court of Justice.
