A vehicle entered the RIDE program, and while engaging with the driver, officers observed an open container of alcohol within the vehicle. This prompted an investigation for impaired operation.

In addition to the charges, their license was suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle was impounded for a period of seven days.

The individual was released from police custody and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
Drivers are reminded that no amount of alcohol or drugs in your system is safe when driving. The OPP remains committed to taking alcohol/drug-impaired drivers off our roads through enforcement and public education. Arrive alive, drive sober.
