(Alfred-Plantagenet, ON) -In the early morning of Sunday July 6th, shortly after 3 am, Hawkesbury OPP Constables Fabrice Courtel, Jonathan Bouchard and Jason Cholette intercepted a tractor on Concession 4 in Alfred-Plantagenet.
Contact with the driver gave the officer reason to believe that the driver 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 of the tractor, Jacques CHÉNIER (45 yrs) of Alfred-Plantagenet, was charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with section 253(1)(b) Driving with More than 80 mgs of Alcohol in Blood.
He is scheduled to appear in court on July 23rd in L’Orignal.
