(KENORA, ON) – Members of the Ontario Provincial Police Kenora detachment have made an arrest for refusal to comply with demand following a report of a motor vehicle collision earlier this morning.
On December 31, 2025, shortly after 3:30 a.m., members of the Kenora OPP attended a motor vehicle collision on Homestake Road after receiving a report that the driver was possibly impaired. Officers developed reason to believe the driver had consumed alcohol and a demand was made for the driver to provide a sample into an approved screening device. The driver refused several times to comply with the demand and was subsequently placed under arrest.
Devarsh SINGH, 21-years-old, from Toronto, Ontario has been charged under the Criminal Code with:
· Failure or Refusal to Comply with Demand
The accused’s driver licence was suspended for 90 days, and their vehicle was impounded for seven days. The accused was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Kenora on January 22, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.
The OPP remains committed to taking alcohol/drug-impaired drivers off our roads through enforcement and public education. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it.
