Two individuals are facing impaired driving charges following separate incidents investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police in Norfolk County.
Police say the first incident took place late on April 10, when an officer conducted a traffic stop on Highway 59 near Bill’s Corners. Following an interaction and a roadside sobriety test, a 36-year-old man from Norfolk County was taken into custody without incident and later charged with multiple offences, including impaired operation and driving-related infractions.
The second incident occurred the following afternoon, after officers responded to a 9-1-1 call reporting a suspected impaired driver near Walsh. Police located the vehicle and arrested a 64-year-old woman from Oxford County, who now faces charges related to impaired operation by alcohol and drugs.
Both individuals are scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Simcoe on May 19. Police continue to remind the public that impaired driving remains a serious safety concern and encourage anyone who suspects a driver is impaired to call 9-1-1.
