A British Columbia man is facing a number of charges stemming from a Monday night traffic stop.
Ontario Provincial Police stopped the vehicle near 9 p.m. on Highway 102 near Alppila Road for speeding.
An investigation found the 39-year-old driver had been consuming alcohol and was immediately taken into custody for further testing at the detachment.
This has resulted in a list of charges:
- Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus);
- Dangerous operation
- Operation While Prohibited under the Criminal Code
- Failure to comply with prohibition order
- Possession Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000
- Speeding 28km/hr over posted limit
- Operate a motor vehicle without insurance
- Driving motor vehicle with open container of liquor
Police say the “Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000” charge is for stolen licence plates, which were on the vehicle when officers ran a query on the vehicle during the stop.
The accused is being held in custody and will make a court appearance Tuesday.
