25 Year Old From Wingham Arrested Following Collision – Cocaine A Factor

(MORRIS-TURNBERRY, ON) – Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has laid charges against a Wingham resident following an Impaired Driving occurrence that took place earlier this week northwest of Wingham.

On Wednesday, October 13, 2021 at approximately 1:33 p.m. Huron County OPP officers and Huron County Paramedic Services responded to a single motor vehicle collision located off of Holmes Line. Upon arrival officers located and spoke with the driver at the scene. Upon doing so the investigating officer observed signs the driver was impaired by a drug. 

As a result the driver was placed under arrest for Impaired Operation and a search incident to arrest resulted in police seizing suspected cocaine and an opioid. A Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) later conducted an evaluation on the driver and it was determined the driver was impaired by a drug. 

Kealin LABBE, 25 years of age from Wingham has been charged with Operation While Impaired, Possession of a Schedule I Substance – Cocaine and Possession of a Schedule I Substance – Opioid. 

The accused has since been released from custody with a court appearance scheduled for December 6, 2021 at the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich.
