(GODERICH, ON) – A 62-year-old from Central Huron has been charged with Over 80 following a traffic stop that took place in Goderich yesterday (27Feb) afternoon.

Shortly before 3:00 p.m. on February 27, 2017 Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was notified of a suspected impaired driver that had just left a business located on North Street in Goderich. Officers immediately began patrolling for the suspect vehicle and moments later a Huron OPP officer spotted the suspect vehicle, a Ford Explorer, travelling eastbound on Huron Road.

A traffic stop was initiated and the investigating officer spoke with the male driver. While speaking with the driver the officer noted the driver had been consuming some alcohol. As a result a roadside screening test was conducted and the driver registered a fail. He was placed under arrest and was promptly transported to the Huron OPP Detachment for breath tests. The driver subsequently provided two samples of his breath to a qualified Intoxilizer Technician and both of his samples registered over the legal limit.
