    (TOWN OF WASAGA BEACH, ON) – The Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged four individuals with impaired driving related charges this past Saturday.

    On January 18, 2025, between the hours of 6:00 PM – 2:00 AM, the Huronia West OPP arrested and charged four different people with operation while impaired.

    At 6:30 PM Saturday night, Huronia West OPP officers were dispatched to a single motor vehicle in the ditch on Forbes Road in Springwater township with multiple witnesses on scene that believed the driver was intoxicated. The driver, a 48-year-old female from Barrie, was subsequently arrested for operation while impaired. The driver was also charged with failure or refusal to comply with demand.

    Roughly at the same time officers were on scene for the vehicle in the ditch on Forbes Road, a member of the Huronia West OPP initiated a traffic stop on Mosley Street in Wasaga Beach for a driving related offence. The officer immediately detected an odour of alcohol from the breath of the driver which initiated an impaired driving investigation. A roadside test with an approved screening device resulted in a fail. The driver, a 51-year-old male from Thornbury was arrested and charged with operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus).

    Just after midnight, an officer initiated a traffic stop on Highway 26 in Springwater township. After speaking with the driver, the officer suspected the driver had been drinking. A roadside test with an approved screening device resulted in a fail. The driver, a 25-year-old male from Scarborough was arrested and charged with operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus). The driver was also charged with Novice driver – B.A.C. above zero, as well as Driving motor vehicle with open container of liquor.

    Around 2:00 AM, the Huronia West OPP were dispatched to a suspicious vehicle call for service in a parking lot in Elmvale. Officers located the vehicle and spoke to the lone occupant in the driver’s seat and formed suspicion of impaired. A roadside test with an approved screening device resulted in a fail. The driver, a 32-year-old female from Elmvale was arrested and charged with operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus).

    Each driver was served a 90-day administrative driver’s licence suspension, 7-day vehicle impoundment and an appearance before the Ontario Court of Justice at a future date.
