(MUNICIPALITY OF NORTH PERTH, ON) – On Friday August 07, 2015, around 9:30 p.m., a Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer attended to a Subaru motor vehicle that appeared to have broken down on Hwy 23 south of Listowel.
Two males with the broken down Subaru were being assisted by two other individuals who were in the process of boosting the car. The officer determined that the driver of the Subaru had been consuming alcoholic beverages and that he would be continuing on his way as soon as his vehicle was started. The officer administered a roadside breath test on the driver which he failed. The driver was transported to the North Perth OPP Detachment in LIstowel, where he also failed two Intoxilyzer breath tests.
52-year-old William CRAWFORD of Stratford has been charged with “care or control over 80 mgs of alcohol in blood”, contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. He has a court appearance scheduled for the Ontario Court of Justice in Listowel on September 30, 2015, where he will have to answer to the charge.
His driver’s licence has been suspended for 90 days and his motor vehicle has been impounded for a period of seven days.
