Huntsville OPP say they have arrested and charged a 66-year-old male driver with impaired
On November 30, 2021 at 8:20 a.m., Huntsville OPP were called to the parking lot of the Huntsville High School as a result of a complaint from a concerned citizen that a school bus driver was impaired.
Responding officers located the driver and while speaking with him detected the smell of cannabis along with other signs of impairment.
A Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) was conducted and the driver was transported to Huntsville detachment for further testing, including a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) Evaluation.
A parent said she received a text message form her son last week saying the bus had the smell of cannabis while the youth was on board.
As a result, David Butikfer, of Huntsville, has been charged with operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by drug.
The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear on January 19, 2022 in the Ontario Court of Justice Huntsville.
It’s really sad that someone 66 years old is so stupid that he would get in a school bus and drive after smoking pot. Literally put a lot of kids in jeopardy he should never get a licence to drive anything again for life.
