Yesterday afternoon, an officer on general patrol observed a pick-up truck travelling west on Lorne Avenue in Chatham with an expired validation. The officer initiated a traffic stop and learned that the driver was suspended from driving. The driver also failed to provide the officer with vehicle documents.
The 21-year-old Chatham man has been charged with driving while under suspension, driving a motor vehicle with no validation, failing to surrender a permit and failing to surrender an insurance card. His vehicle was towed from the roadway and impounded for seven days as per the Vehicle Impoundment Program.
