(MORRIS-TURNBERRY, ON) – A 25 year old driver is facing two criminal charges following a traffic stop on December 12, 2014. At approximately 11:15 p.m. a Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer on patrol observed a Ford F-350 pickup truck stopped on Browntown Road in the live lane of traffic.
Upon checking on the driver officers noted the driver was asleep at the wheel with the vehicle in gear. Officers also noticed an open bottle of beer in the vehicle. Upon waking the driver the vehicle lurched forward prompting the officer to place the vehicle into park.
Officers observed the driver to be displaying signs of impairment as a result he was placed under arrest. He was transported to the Huron OPP Detachment where he provided two samples of his breath to a qualified Intoxilizer Technician. Both of his tests registered over the legal limit.
As a result, 25 year old David GARNISS from Morris-Turnberry has been charged with Impaired Care & Control of a Motor Vehicle and Care & Control of a Motor Vehicle – Over 80 Milligrams of Alcohol. He has a court appearance scheduled for the Ontario Court of Justice – Wingham on February 12, 2015. He received an automatic 90 day driver’s licence suspension and his motor vehicle was impounded for seven days.
