(ASHFIELD-COLBORNE-WAWANOSH, ON) – A Dungannon resident will be making a trip to court next month following a traffic stop that resulted in several Criminal Code and Highway Traffic Act offences being laid against him.
On Saturday, January 21, 2017 a Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer received information about a suspended driver. As a result of this information an officer kept observations in the area and shortly after 1:00 p.m. a Huron OPP officer observed the suspect vehicle, a white Jeep Cherokee turn off of Lucknow Line onto Hawkins Road. The suspect vehicle was stopped and upon further investigation the driver was confirmed to be driving while under suspension.
