(NORTH HURON, ON) – A 33-year-old from Howick will be making a trip to court later this spring to answer to some drugs and weapon related charges he is facing.
At approximately 7:38 p.m. on March 31, 2018 a Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer initiated a traffic stop of a Volkswagen Jetta on London Road north of Blyth. Upon stopping the vehicle the licence plate validation sticker was found to be expired and it was also learned the driver held a suspended driver’s licence.
