A 43-year-old man from Tottenham is facing numerous charges after Nottawasaga OPP received assistance from military police in arresting a suspected impaired driver.
Shortly after 5 p.m. on Thursday, provincial police responded to a call to assist an officer on patrol in Angus who attempted to stop a vehicle that registered a "hit" for being a suspended driver. Police say the vehicle did not stop for the officer and entered Canadian Forces Base Borden.
Nearly an hour later, with the assistance of military police, the motorist was pulled over and arrested for impaired driving. OPP allege the driver was four times over the legal limit.
The man has been charged with the following:
- Dangerous operation
- Operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs
- Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
- Flight from peace officer
- Driving while under suspension - Two Counts
- Driving motor vehicle with open container of liquor- Two Counts
The accused was charged recently with two previous counts of impaired operation offences and as a result was held for a bail hearing.
