On Saturday, April 12, 2025, at approximately 7:30 p.m., the East Algoma Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a traffic complaint of an eastbound white car with no licence plates that was swerving all over the road at inconsistent speeds in the Desbarats area.

Police observed the white car to be weaving from side to side and struggling to maintain its lane. A traffic stop was initiated near Garden Bay Road in Plummer Additional Township (west of Bruce Mines). Upon speaking with the driver, police determined that alcohol had been consumed, and a subsequent arrest was made.

Operation while impaired – alcohol
Operation while impaired-blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Elliot Lake on May 20, 2025.

The driver was issued a 90-day Administrative Drivers Licence Suspension, and the involved vehicle was impounded for 7days.

If you suspect an impaired driver, call 911 and don’t hesitate to “MAKE THE CALL”.
