A young woman was among four individuals charged by OPP over the course of two days in four different incidents.
Officers from the Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police apprehended and charged four people with impaired driving offenses this past weekend.
A news release from the OPP indicates that officers responding to a traffic complaint in Wasaga Beach on April 17 shortly before 10 p. m. arrested a 42-year-old resident of Wasaga, charging him with operation while impaired with a blood alcohol concentration of 80 or over, operation while impaired by alcohol, and having care or control of a motor vehicle with liquor readily available.
On Sunday, April 19 at around 2 a. m., an officer pulled over a driver in Elmvale and charged an 18-year-old woman from Wasaga Beach with operation while impaired with a blood alcohol concentration of 80 or over, using someone else’s license, having a blood alcohol concentration above zero as a novice driver, consuming liquor while under 19 years old, entering licensed premises while under 19 years old, using an illegally issued document as proof of her age, and driving with liquor readily available.
On the same day at approximately 5:30 p. m., officers responded to a single-vehicle collision at the intersection of County Road 27 and 6 in Springwater. There they arrested a 47-year-old man from Elmvale and charged him with blood alcohol concentration of 80 or over and operation while impaired by alcohol.
