Possession/Driving While Suspended
(Bradford, ON) On Friday, September 20, 2024, at approximately 11:00 p.m., South Simcoe Police responded to a report of a driving complaint in the area of Coffey Road and Line 5 in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury.
Initial reports indicated that a male was slumped over in the driver’s seat of a running vehicle in a live traffic lane. Police, fire, and EMS all arrived on scene and woke up the male. To rule out impairment of alcohol, a road-side demand was performed and a reading of zero was provided. The Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) evaluation indicated the accused was not impaired by drug at that given time.
As a result of an investigation, a 41-year-old male from Burlington was charged with Possession of Schedule I Drug and Driving While Suspended. His vehicle was impounded for seven days.
