A criminal charge has been laid after a possible impaired driver was reported near Wawa.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say a concerned citizen called in the tip about a possible impaired driver on Highway 101 about 30 kilometres east of Wawa shortly before 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, with police locating and stopping the vehicle, determining the driver had consumed alcoholic beverages, though the driver refused to provide police with a breath sample, leading to the 34-year-old Blind River man's arrest on a charge of Failure or Refusal to Comply With Demand.
He was released from custody with a November court date, though his vehicle's been impounded for seven days and a 90-day Administrative Driver's License Suspension was issued.
