An individual is facing impaired charges after driving a vehicle across the grass at an OPP detachment in Midland last night.
On November 16, 2024 at about 9:30pm, members of the Southern Georgian Bay detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police(OPP) while on patrol, were passing the Highway 12 office, when they observed a full size pickup truck attempting to negotiate a route from a nearby hotel, across the lawns of the detachment as well as the neighboring car dealership. (see photo) The officers stopped the vehicle and spoke with the lone occupant who displayed strong signs of alcohol consumption. The individual was placed under arrest and was ushered inside the detachment to provide a breath sample. The results registered several times above the legal limit.
