(WARKWORTH, ON) – At 12:30pm January 21, 2015 Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received information that an intoxicated customer had been refused service at the LCBO store. Witnesses observed him drive away in a red SUV.
Officers located the SUV east of Warkworth driving in the oncoming lane. The vehicle was stopped and the driver arrested. He was taken to the Brighton detachment for further tests.
As a result of these tests, Wayne BEAVER age 75 of Alderville First Nation is charged with Impaired Care&Control of a motor vehicle and Exceed 80 mgs. He was released and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on February 18, 2015.
The OPP would like to remind everyone that we rely on the public to report crime and impaired driving is a crime that should be treated no differently. If you suspect that someone is driving or about to drive impaired, call 9-1-1 and report it. If you see that someone is impaired by alcohol or other drugs and intends on driving, strongly discourage them from driving and call 9-1-1 if they insist.
