(CENTRAL HURON, ON) – A 67-year-old from Cambridge will have to attend court in Goderich later this summer following a traffic stop that took place on Huron Road earlier this week.
About 7:48 p.m. on August 1, 2017 Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received information about a Ford Expedition that was travelling westbound on Huron Road (Highway 8) toward Goderich in an erratic fashion.
A few minutes later Huron OPP stopped the suspect vehicle on Huron Road near Nairn Drive. While speaking with the driver the investigating officer noted the driver had been drinking some alcohol. A roadside screening test was administered and the driver registered a Fail. The driver was placed under arrest and was transported to the Huron OPP Detachment for breath tests.
