(Alfred-Plantagenet, ON) – On Saturday May 17th, 2014, shortly before 7:30 am, police were called to the scene of a collision on Montée-Charette Road in Alfred-Plantagenet.
OPP Constables Jason Cholette and Mario Gratton responded to the incident.
Upon arrival, the driver was not at the scene of the collision. The driver was later found arriving at his residence being driven by a friend.
The officers interrogated the driver which gave officers reason to believe that he had consumed alcohol and that his blood alcohol concentration was above the permitted limit.
The driver was consequently arrested for driving while having blood alcohol content above 80 mgs per 100ml of blood.
Consequently, the driver Eric Daniel Joseph LEPAGE (31 yrs) of Alfred, Ontario, was charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with the following offences:
– section 253(1)(b) Driving with More than 80 mgs of Alcohol in Blood.
– Section 249(1)(a) Dangerous Operation of Motor Vehicle
His vehicle was seized for 7 days and driver’s licence immediately suspended for 90 days.
He was later released and is scheduled to appear at the L’Orignal Court on June 11th in L’Orignal.
