(Morris Turnberry, ON) On April 17, 2010 at approximately 5:30 pm, an Ontario Provincial Police officer was patrolling on Harriston Road in Huron County when he observed a van traveling at a high rate of speed. The officer stopped the vehicle as it pulled into a laneway. The driver exited his vehicle and as the officer approached, he noted a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage coming from the driver’s breath as well as many other indicators that the man was impaired.
The driver was placed under arrest for Impaired Driving. A search of the driver and his motor vehicle led the officer to find an open bottle of alcohol inside the van.
The driver was taken to the Wingham Police Department where he met with a qualified Intoxilizer Technician to provide two samples of his breath. The results of his tests confirmed that the driver had a blood alcohol level that was well in excess of the legal limit.
As a result of the investigation, Isaac NEUDORF (32) of Morris Turnberry has been charged with one count of Impaired Driving and one count of Drive With Over 80 Milligrams of Alcohol. He will answer to these Criminal charges in the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich on June 7, 2010. In addition, the driver was also charged with numerous Highway Traffic Act offences. LP10098395
