NEWS RELEASE
SOUTH SIMOE POLICE
******************************
A 33-year-old Glencairn man was charged with over 80 following a traffic stop in Bradford.
On Sunday, Jan. 19, 20202 around 8:30 a.m., a South Simcoe Police Service officer conducted a traffic stop on Holland Street. The officer detected an odour of alcohol and a roadside screening device test registered a fail. The driver was arrested and transported to South Division where breath tests resulted in readings over the legal limit. As a result, a 33-year-old Glencairn man was charged with over 80. His licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for seven days. The driver was released with a future court date.
South Simcoe Police Service officers charged four impaired drivers this weekend - two on Friday night and the two above on Sunday. Impaired driving is the leading criminal cause of death and injury in Canada. We'd like to remind motorists that driving the morning after can be just as dangerous as driving the night of the party because you may still be impaired. The only thing that will lower your blood alcohol content and sober you up is time.
