CALEDONIA—On December 18, 2021, at 2:41 a.m., Haldimand OPP were conducting a R.I.D.E. program on Argyle Street in Caledonia when they observed a vehicle turn around and continue travelling in the opposite direction. It appeared as though the vehicle was avoiding the R.I.D.E. program.
The vehicle was eventually stopped and while speaking with the driver, signs of alcohol consumption were detected. The individual was transported to the closest OPP detachment for additional testing.
A 35-year-old of Caledonia is charged with the following offences:
- Driving a motor vehicle while impaired,
- Driving a motor vehicle with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood
The driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
The accused is to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cayuga at a later date to answer to the charges.
