Kenneth ROBERTS – Drunk Driving

(PETROLIA, ON) – On Wednesday September 2nd, 2015, at approximately 10:40 a.m., Lambton County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received information from a neighboring police service of a possible impaired driver traveling to a residence in the 5200 block area of Lambton Line, Dawn-Euphemia Township.
