(PICTON, ON) – Despite the recent conclusion of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Festive Ride campaign, impaired driving continues to pose a serious risk in Prince Edward County.

The province-wide initiative, which ran from November 20, 2025, to January 1, 2026, resulted in more than 700 impaired driving arrests across Ontario, including 150 drivers charged in the East Region. Despite these efforts, since January 1, officers from the OPP Prince Edward County Detachment have charged two additional drivers with impaired driving.

On Saturday, January 10, 2026, shortly before 10:00 p.m., officers responded to a report of a motor vehicle collision. Officers located the motorist, and the individual was arrested and transported to the detachment for testing.

Matthew Miller, age 40 of Hillier, was charged with:

Operation while impaired – alcohol
Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, shortly after 08:00 p.m., officers responded to another report of a motor vehicle collision. The individual was arrested and transported to the detachment for testing.

Chloe Nugent, age 19 of Lindsay, was charged with

Operation while impaired – alcohol
Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
Novice Driver – blood alcohol concentration above zero
Both accused were released from custody and are scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Picton at a later date.

The OPP reminds motorists that new impaired driving penalties took effect January 1, 2026. Drivers are urged to make safe choices and never drive impaired.
