Officers located the vehicle stopped on the shoulder and arrested the driver for impaired operation. The individual was transported to a detachment for further tests.
As a result, Andrew MAC INNIS (36) from Caledon, has been charged with:
– Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs
– Failure or refusal to comply with demand
– Dangerous operation
– Improper tires
Both accused are due to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in January 2026.
For each impaired driving charge, a 90-day Administrative Driver’s Licence Suspension (ADLS) and 7-day vehicle impoundment were imposed as per statute.
If you know or suspect that a driver is impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1. In doing so, you may save a life. Whether you are impaired by alcohol or drugs, impaired is impaired and driving under the influence of either is a criminal offence. If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture.
