Impaired Driver Arrested In Dashwood

(SOUTH HURON, ON) – A resident of Mississauga has been charged with Operation While Impaired – Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 Plus) following a traffic stop earlier this month in Dashwood.

On Friday, June 4, 2022, at approximately 10:30 p.m. Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers were conducting a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) checkpoint in Dashwood when they had an opportunity to speak to the driver of a sports car.

Upon speaking with the driver the investigating officer had suspicioned the driver had consumed some alcohol thus a roadside screening test was conducted. The driver complied with test and registered a fail. He was subsequently placed under arrest and was transported to the Huron OPP Detachment for further testing. Two samples of breath were supplied to the Intoxilizer Technician and both tests were found to be over the legal limit.

Omar SIBAI, 30 years of age from Mississauga has been charged with Operation While Impaired – Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 Plus). The accused has since been released from custody with a court appearance scheduled for August 8, 2022, at the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich.
