(CALEDON, ON) – On July 13th, 2014 shortly before 9:45 am, officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were patrolling in the area of Airport Road and Patterson Side Road. The officers observed a northbound black BMW on the shoulder of the highway. A check of the plate revealed the validation tag had expired. Subsequently, the officer turned the marked cruiser around and initiated a vehicle stop.
Upon speaking with the male driver, the officers immediately detected a strong odour of alcohol on the driver’s breath and the officers made further observations that were indicators of a person under the influence of alcohol. The officer then demanded the driver produce a sample of his breath into the roadside screening device. The test registered a fail and the male was transported to Detachment. During the course of the investigation, the officer located a quantity of drugs, believed to be marijuana inside the motor vehicle.
In conclusion, Zachary Nicholas CAMACHO, 23, from Mono was arrested and charged with Operate Motor Vehicle Over 80 and Possession of a Schedule II substance.
The Administrative Drivers’ Licence Suspension (ADLS) program was initiated and his motor vehicle was impounded for seven days.
The accused is scheduled to make his first appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on July 24, 2014.
