(Hawkesbury, ON) – In the early morning of September 27th, shortly before 1:30 am, Hawkesbury OPP Constables Bouchard and Hahn intercepted a red 2011 Volkswagen that was travelling on St-Philippe Street in the village of Alfred.
The traffic stop gave the officers reason to believe that the driver had consumed alcohol. Further investigation revealed that the driver had blood alcohol content over the permitted limit.
The driver was consequently arrested for driving a motor vehicle while having over 80 mgs of alcohol per 100 mgs of blood.
Nicholas Desmond JACKSON (31 yrs) of Plantagenet, was charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with section 253(1)(b) – Blood Alcohol Content Exceed 80 Milligrams.
His vehicle was seized for 7 days and driver’s licence immediately suspended for 90 days.
