DRIVER FLEES FROM POLICE
AFTER HANDING OVER
IDENTIFICATION
On June 20, 2009 at approximately 2 a.m.,
Huron OPP officers set up a RIDE check-
point on Southampton Street in Dungannon.
After speaking to the driver of a slow-mov-
ing vehicle an officer detected the odour of
an alcoholic beverage. The officer requested
identification from the driver and he com-
plied. The officer then issued a demand to
the driver to provide a roadside sample of his
breath. The driver was told to pull to the curb
to remove his vehicle from the lane of traffic.
At this point the driver left the scene with the
officer holding his licence, ownership and in-
surance card.
The officers followed the fleeing vehicle
and located it in a private driveway. The
driver had exited the vehicle and fled on foot.
He could not be located.
As a result of the investigation, a 35 -year-
old Ashfield Colborne Wawanosh man is
facing one count of Fail to Stop for Police.
THREE DRIVERS LOSE LICENCE
FOR THREE DAYS OVER THE
WEEKEND
Over the weekend, three drivers lost their
driving privileges after blowing "warns" on
the roadside Alcotest.
One driver was stopped after failing to
stop for a stop sign, a second driver was
stopped because of speeding and the third
driver was stopped for a routine sobriety
check.
That combination of alcohol and the dan-
gerous driving actions had the potential for
disaster.
Drivers are being reminded that the for-
mer 12 hour suspension is now gone. Driv-
ers who have their licences suspended for
blowing a "warn" on a roadside Alcotest
now have to obtain a new licence at MTO
following the three day suspension. There
is a reinstatement fee that goes along with
that process.
