February 2, 2025, two individuals were arrested and are facing impaired driving charges after the police received traffic related complaints on their vehicles.

January 2, 2025, at 1:44 am., the Grey Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a traffic complaint of a vehicle that was unable to maintain its lane. Officers located the vehicle on Highway 6 near the town of Durham.

A 30-year-old of Southgate was charged with the following:

  • Operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs
  • Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

On February 2, 2025, at 7:10 pm, the Grey Bruce OPP received a report of a single motor vehicle collision. Police attended and located the vehicle. The police noted that the vehicle the accused was driving was unsafe.

As a result of the investigation, a 41-year-old from Southgate was charged with:

  • Operation while Impaired - alcohol and drugs
  • Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
  • Dangerous operation
  • Operate unsafe vehicle
  • Improper tires

Both accused parties are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Owen Sound on February 20, 2025

A 90-day Administrative Driver's Licence Suspension (ADLS) and seven-day vehicle impoundment was initiated as per statute.

If you suspect that someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, it is important to call 9-1-1 to report it. The OPP relies on the public to report crime. Impaired driving is a crime that should be treated no differently.

We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization.
