A 28-year-old suspect from Sault Ste. Marie is facing multiple charges in connection with an incident where a vehicle crashed into a home Sept. 20.
The collision took place on 600 block of Wellington Street West in the late evening.
“Upon arrival, officers observed a vehicle that had struck a residence and caused significant damage to the property,” police said in a news release Thursday.
The driver was taken to hospital for treatment after being extracted from the vehicle.
“Through the investigation, officers developed grounds to believe the accused’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol,” police said.
The suspect initially resisted arrest but was taken into custody Oct. 20.
The charges include impaired driving, dangerous operation of a vehicle and obstruction of peace officer.
The accused has been released on a undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 9.
None of the allegations has been proven in court.
