(TOWN OF MINTO, ON) – On June 8, 2019, at approximately 9:45 p.m. an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer stopped a driver of an All Terrain Vehicle (A.T.V.) on Elora Street South, Harriston. The officer stopped the driver for failing to wear a helmet as required by law.
While speaking with the driver, officers formed the opinion that the driver was impaired by alcohol. A Roadside Screening test was conducted which resulted in a fail. The driver was arrested and brought to a local OPP operations centre for further testing.
As a result of the investigation Thomas Ryan MIZUGUCHI, 22-years-old of Clifford, has been charged with Impaired Operation, Impaired Operation 80 Plus (mg of alcohol per 100mL of blood) and Novice Driver with a Blood Alcohol Concentration Above Zero. A 90-day Administrative Driver’s Licence Suspension (A.D.L.S.) and 7-day Vehicle Impoundment was initiated as per statute. The Accused is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice on July 12, 2019.
If you suspect someone is driving while their ability to operate a motor vehicle is impaired, either by drug or alcohol, call police at 911 to report it.
