Northumberland OPP say they arrested a 31-year-old from Toronto on Oct. 27, 2024, following a traffic complaint on Hwy. 401 in Port Hope.
The complaint, received around 4:35 a.m., described an eastbound vehicle driving erratically.
Officers said they located the vehicle, observed it weaving out of its lane and then come to a stop in the middle of the highway.
The driver was arrested for impaired operation and taken to a local detachment for further tests conducted by a drug recognition evaluator, reported OPP.
As a result of the investigation, the accused was charged with dangerous operation and impaired driving due to alcohol and drugs.
In addition to facing future court proceedings, he received a 90-day administrative driver licence suspension, and the vehicle was impounded for seven days under provincial regulations.
