Northern Ont. traffic stop leads to impaired driving charges
A 65-year-old local resident is facing impaired driving charges after a traffic stop in Kapuskasing last week.
On July 18 at about 11 a.m., members of the James Bay Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment conducted the stop on Citi des Jeunes Boulevard.
“Upon speaking with the driver, police determined that they had been consuming an alcoholic beverage,” said police in a news release.
“The driver was arrested and transported to the Kapuskasing detachment for further testing.”
As a result of the investigation, the driver is facing two impaired driving charges.
The vehicle involved was impounded for seven days by police and the accused also received a 90-day administrative driver's licence suspension.
The accused was released and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 9.
None of the allegations has been proven in court.
“Impaired driving can lead to severe consequences, including fines and further licence suspensions upon conviction,” said police in a related social media post.
