(SOUTH HURON, ON) – A resident of London is facing a number of charges following a traffic stop conducted by Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) late last week.
At approximately 4:46 p.m. on October 14, 2021 Huron OPP officers received a call from a witness that reported a driver was operating a sport utility vehicle in an erratic manner. Officers immediately began patrolling for the suspect vehicle and about 10 minutes later it was stopped on London Road (Highway 4) near Crediton Road.
The investigating officer spoke with the driver and upon doing so the driver was found to be displaying signs of impairment. Additionally, police observed open containers of alcohol inside the vehicle.
The driver was ultimately placed under arrest for Impaired Operation and was transported to the Huron OPP Detachment for breath tests. Two breath tests were taken and both were found to be over the legal limit.
Alvaro GIL ASTURIAS, 33 years of age from London has been charged with Impaired Operation, Operation While Impaired – Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 Plus), Drive Motor Vehicle With Open Container of Liquor and Novice Driver – BAC Above Zero.
The accused has since been released from custody with a court appearance scheduled for November 20, 2021 at the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich.
