An OPP officer that works out of the Huntsville detachment has been charged with impaired driving following a traffic stop on Jan. 20.
Members of the Almaguin Highlands OPP conducted a traffic stop on Novar Road at about 4 p.m. and investigation revealed that the driver had been consuming alcohol. The driver was transported to the Huntsville OPP Detachment for further testing after failing a roadside test, according to police. David Schell, 50, of Perry Township has been charged with operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus), contrary to section 320.14(1)(b) of the Criminal Code.
Schell is a member of the OPP and is currently in his 15th year serving at the Huntsville OPP Detachment. He is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Sundridge on Feb. 27.
All an (upstanding) Police officer needs to do is randomly in the mornings, afternoons and nights set up a ride program up the street from almost any hockey arena. They would nab handfuls of impaired drivers just from Men’s rec hockey leagues. Also, men’s rec hockey leagues are full of police officers who drink before and after the game.
Ask me, I know.
So does David Schell.
