On Sunday February 23 at approximately 7pm OPP officers were advised of a possible impaired driver in the Township of McNab/Braeside. Another motorist reported a transport with an empty flatbed trailer weaving on River Road heading eastbound. The truck was weaving in and out of its lane, flashing high beams, and travelling at various speeds. Officers located the vehicle, parked on the shoulder of Centre Street in Braeside. A male identified himself as the driver of the vehicle and admitted he had consumed alcohol. After failing a roadside alcohol screening test he was arrested and transported to the OPP satellite office in Arnprior for further testing. Following those tests Timothy BEAUDOIN 41 of McNab/Braeside was charged with care or control of a motor vehicle over 80mgs. He was released on a promise to appear in court in Renfrew on March 26, 2014. Provincial Constable Marc Bennett investigated.
