(LITTLE CURRENT, ON) A traffic stop for speeding has led to multiple charges after a driver attempted to switch seats with a passenger.
On Wednesday, October 12, 2025, at approximately 8;30 a.m., officers from the Manitoulin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting speed enforcement on Highway 6 in the Township of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands (NEMI).

Upon stopping, the officer observed the driver move from the drivers seat to the rear passenger seat, while the front passenger shifted into the drivers seat. Further investigation revealed that the original driver was suspended from driving and the driver was subsequently arrested.
The driver, Michel DESORMEAUX, 37-years-old from Sudbury, was charged with:
Driving while under suspension two counts
Failure to comply with release order
Speeding 1 49 km/hr over posted limit
The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Gore Bay on November 4, 2025.
