(Central Huron, ON) Shortly before midnight on May 1, 2010 Huron OPP officers were patrolling in Holmesville when a vehicle was observed and stopped. Immediately upon speaking to the driver, the officer observed the driver to be showing signs of being impaired by alcohol. The driver was arrested for Impaired Driving and was transported to the Huron OPP Detachment where he met with a qualified Intoxilizer Technician to provide two samples of his breath. The results of the tests confirmed that the driver had a blood alcohol level in excess of the legal limit of 80 milligrams. Further investigation revealed that the driver was a Prohibited Driver due to a prior driving conviction.
