OPP lay charges against a pair for impaired driving.

The 41 year old Couchiching First Nation and a 62 year old from Barwick face the offences in Rainy River after they were stopped Saturday morning within hours of each other.

Police obtained cannabis that was readily available in the vehicle driven by the 41 year old.

Both men face a November 16th court appearance in Fort Frances.
