Impaired Driving Charges After Stop in Dubreuilville

Impaired driving charges have been laid after a stop for an expired licence plate in Dubreuilville.

Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say officers conducting general patrol were alerted by their Automated Licence Plate Recognition System about a vehicle on Green Lake Road shortly after 11 o'clock last Friday night, further noticing the vehicle had started travelling "in an unsafe manner", prompting a traffic stop.

Subsequent investigation revealed the driver had consumed alcoholic beverages, leading to the arrest of a Goulais River 38-year-old on charges of: operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs; operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus); and fail to surrender insurance card.

They were released from custody with a December court date in Wawa.
