    Possible Impaired Driver Call to OPP Results in Two Drivers Being Charged in Waubaushene

    Date:

    (TAY TOWNSHIP, ON) –  Credit goes to a community member who placed a call to the OPP Communication Centre near 3:27 p.m. December 7, 2024 reporting a possible impaired driver in the commercial area of Pine Street near Highway 12, Waubaushene in Tay Township.

    Officers from Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) attended the area at 3:35 p.m. and located the suspect vehicle, a black Volkswagen plated as Ontario CZMC397 parked tightly next a white Mazda with Ontario plate CTTT350 in a commercial parking lot off Pine Street.

    The operators of these two vehicles upon being woken up by the officers were spoken to and detained at the scene then transported to Detachment for further investigation along with a quantity of suspected methamphetamines, Canadian currency, aerosol cans and assorted drug paraphernalia which was seized.

    Investigating officers were assisted by an OPP Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) officer and as a result of these investigations the following persons have been charged.

    Joey Bernard GRAVELLE 36 years of South Glengarry Township and Erika Karla QUESNEL-SEFCSIK 31 years of Williamstown have each been charged with Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada.

    Both accused persons were released from custody to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice  on the December 19, 2024, and were each served a 90 day drivers licence suspension. The involved two vehicles were towed and are both subject to a 7 day vehicle impound in accordance to the Ministry of Transportation (ADLS) guidelines.

    Although the OPP runs its annual Festive RIDE campaign during the holiday season, RIDE spot checks are conducted throughout the year, 24/7. The OPP remains committed to taking alcohol/drug-impaired drivers off our roads through enforcement and public education. If you know or suspect that a driver is impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1. In doing so, you may save a life.  The OPP reminds motorists to plan ahead and to use a designated driver, cab, public transit, or stay overnight. Any amount of alcohol or drugs can impact your ability to make sound judgements. Enforcement and education is essential to save lives and reduce injuries on our trails, roadways and waterways.
