(LONG SAULT, ON) – An individual has been transported to hospital after becoming unconscious in the holding cells of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Detachment in Long Sault and, as a result, the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate.
On Monday, December 16, 2024, shortly after 12:00 a.m., officers with the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SD&G) OPP Detachment responded to a report of a suspected impaired driver in South Dundas Township. A 34-year-old male was arrested and charged with weapon and drug offences after officers seized a prohibited stun gun, suspected fentanyl and suspected crack cocaine, as well as drug paraphernalia. He was lodged in the cells at the SD&G Detachment in Long Sault.
Several hours later, the male became unresponsive and was transported to hospital by Cornwall-SD&G Paramedics.
