Numerous charges have been laid after an impaired driver call near Chapleau.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to the report of a possible impaired driver on Highway 101 shortly after 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, but - when officers located the suspect vehicle - the driver initially refused to stop for police, though officers were eventually able to conduct a traffic stop, where investigation revealed the driver had consumed alcoholic beverage.
That led to the arrest of a 41-year-old from Thompson, Manitoba, on charges of: operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs; dangerous operation; uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm; faily to comply with probation order; drive motor vehicle - perform stunt - excessive speed; fail to stop for police; use centre lane improperly; and litter highway.
They've been released from custody, set to appear in court next month.
