(TOWNSHIP OF PERTH EAST, ON) – On Sunday June 26, 2016, shortly after 1 a.m. Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers on general patrol observed a pickup truck pull into a residential laneway on Line 52 North of Rostock. The male driver was unsteady on his feet when exiting the vehicle. Officers spoke with the male and a determination was made that he was impaired. The male was arrested and transported to the Perth County OPP Detachment in Sebringville, where he failed two Intoxilyzer breath tests.
