(MIDDLESEX CENTRE, ON) – On December 31, 2015, the Middlesex County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) program on Longwoods Road at Gideon Drive.
At approximately 8:47 p.m. a black Toyota car entered the checkpoint. Officers determined the male driver had been drinking alcohol.
A roadside screening device was administered, and the driver registered a “fail”. The male was placed under arrest and transported to a Middlesex County OPP detachment for further breath tests.
As a result of the police investigation, 25-year-old Carlos OLIVEIRA, from Dutton-Dunwich, Ontario, has been charged with driving with more than 80 mgs of alcohol in blood, contrary to the criminal Code of Canada.
The accused was released from police custody by way of a Promise to Appear (PTA) and is scheduled to answer the charge in a London court on January 19, 2016.
