On November 01, 2024, at approximately 10:30 pm, while conducting a RIDE program a motor vehicle entered into the RIDE at Hwy 35 near Towers Road and an impaired driving investigation commenced.
Henry Oppers, 76-year-old of Janetville, was charged with:
Operation While Impaired – Blood Alcohol Concentration over 80
The accused is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Lindsay at a later date. The motor vehicle was towed and impounded for 7 days and the drivers license was suspended for 90 days.
If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture.
