Peterborough County OPP – Traffic Complaint Leads to Impaired Charge (Name Released)

In Police Blotter

Officers from the Peterborough County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged an individual with impaired driving after receiving a complaint about a vehicle stopped on Chemong Road.

On Saturday December 14, 2024, the Peterborough County OPP received a call from a concerned motorist reporting that a vehicle was parked on the side of the road with the engine running and what appeared to be vomit on the driver’s side door. The caller reported that the driver also appeared to be sleeping in the vehicle.

Officers arrived on scene to find the driver asleep behind the wheel. Officers woke the individual and determined that they were under the influence of alcohol at which point they were arrested.

Jackson ENDICOTT (age 20) of Selwyn Township, ON., was arrested and charged with:

·      Operation while impaired

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

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

The accused had their drivers licence suspended for 90-days, and their vehicle impounded for seven days.

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Peterborough on January 21, 2025.

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.
