Two impaired driving charges laid over Easter weekend
Members of the Rainy River District Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have arrested and charged two men with impaired driving in two separate incidents over Easter weekend.
On Friday, members of Rainy River OPP detachment of the OPP pulled over a vehicle going 27 km/h over the posted speed limit. Upon further investigation into the incident, it was determined that the driver of the vehicle was impaired.
On Monday, Rainy River OPP officers determined a driver on Highway 11-71 was impaired after a traffic stop.
The two Fort Frances men, aged 23 and 61, are charged with drunk driving.
They have been released from custody and are scheduled to appear before the court at a later date.
The OPP says they remain committed to taking alcohol/drug-impaired drivers off the roads through enforcement and public education. If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1 to report it.
