Huron County OPP has charged a Wingham resident with impaired operation following a traffic stop that took place in Wingham last week.
On Wednesday February 24th at 4:47pm Huron County OPP received a complaint of a possible impaired driver in Wingham operating a pickup truck in an erratic manner.
A few minutes later a Huron OPP officer spotted the pickup truck travelling southbound on Josephine Street with one of the tires completely blown out.
A traffic stop was conducted and while speaking with the driver the investigating officer noted the driver was displaying signs of impairment. As a result the driver was arrested and transported to the Huron OPP Detachment for breath tests.
Two samples of breath were analyzed by the Intoxilizer Technician and both samples were found to be above the legal limit.
A 64 year old male from Wingham has been charged with operation while impaired and operation while impaired blood alcohol concentration 80 plus. The driver was served with a driver’s license suspension and his motor vehicle was towed.
The accused has since been released from custody with a court appearance scheduled for April 26th at the Ontario Court of Justice in Goderich.
