Adam BROWN – Drunk Driving

(BRIGHTON, ON) –On October 18, 2015 at 1:11pm a Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer stopped a grey Buick for speeding on County Road 30 near the community of Orland. The driver smelled of alcohol and was given a roadside test which resulted in a ‘fail’. He was arrested and taken to the Brighton detachment for further tests.

As a result of these tests, Adam BROWN age 36 of Warkworth, Ontario is charged with Care & Control of a motor vehicle while his blood alcohol content exceeded 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood. He was released and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brighton on November 3, 2015.

As of the beginning of October (2015), 227 people have died on OPP-patrolled roads. A total of 29 of the deaths were alcohol/drug related. Impaired driving remains the leading cause of criminal death in Canada. The OPP would like to remind the public that if you had been drinking heavily the night before, you may still be legally over the limit in the morning even after a few hours of sleep. If you find yourself in that position, err on the side of caution and make other arrangements to get to where you are going rather than driving yourself. Help do your part to make Ontario roads the safest in North America.
