Orillia OPP charged an Oro-Medonte man with impaired driving among others after receiving a notification from their Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) system.
On Saturday shortly before 10 a.m., officers were notified by the ALPR system of a possible suspended driver.

The 42-year-old driver faces the following:
- Operation while prohibited - two counts.

His vehicle was impounded for 45 days, and he is scheduled to appear in court.
