Peterborough County OPP – Aggressive Driving Leads to Impaired Charges (Name Released)

In Police Blotter

Officers from the Peterborough County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged an individual after observing a vehicle making an aggressive maneuver.

On November 15, 2024, just prior to 10:00pm, a Peterborough County OPP officer was stationary, observing traffic in Havelock. The officer observed a vehicle exit a parking lot in a manner which caused an approaching second vehicle to apply their brakes with force. The officer initiated a traffic stop on the first vehicle that had exited the parking lot. After a brief conversation with the driver, the officer determined they were under the influence of alcohol. The officer made a demand for the Approved Screening Device (ASD). The driver complied with the demand and provided a sample of their breath resulting in a Fail at which point they were arrested.

Michael RUMOHR (age 21) of Sarnia, ON, was arrested and charged with:

·      Operation while impaired

·      Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

·      Fail to yield from Driveway

·      Novice Driver – B.A.C. above zero

·      Young Driver – B.A.C. above zero

The accused had their driver’s licence suspended for 90 days and vehicle impounded for seven days.

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Peterborough on December 17, 2024.

The Peterborough County OPP reminds motorists to plan ahead when consuming alcohol or drugs. Use a designated driver, cab, public transit, or stay overnight. Any amount of alcohol or drugs can impact your ability to make sound judgements.
