A woman has been charged with impaired driving after police conducted a traffic stop in relation to a suspected drunk driver.
On the 19th of November 2019, Cobourg Police received a report of a possible impaired driver after a woman was seen getting into the driver’s seat of a motor vehicle in an intoxicated state. Police located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, at which time it was determined that the driver had an excess amount of alcohol in her system.
As a result of the police investigation, 70 year old Carolyn Goheen of Cobourg was charged with having care and control of a motor vehicle with over 80 mgs. of alcohol under Section 320.14(b) of the Criminal Code and released on a Promise to Appear with an impending court date.
Cobourg Police encourage the public to report suspected impaired driving by calling 911. Impaired driving is the #1 criminal cause of death in Canada and, yet, every impaired driving crash is preventable. By calling 911 and reporting suspected impaired drivers to police, everyone can play a role in keeping our roads and waterways safe and in reducing impaired driving crashes, deaths and injuries.
