September 6, 2019 News Release

Traffic:

On the 5th of September 2019 at 9:35 a.m. officers stopped a vehicle for speeding. The 51 year old driver was on conditions not to operate a vehicle without an ignition interlock system. This system is required in certain circumstances upon conviction of an impaired driving offence.  He was charged with speeding and driving without an interlock device.  His vehicle was impounded for 45 days.

 

RIDE Program:

A RIDE program was conducted by officers from the Brockville Police last night.  As a result of that program officers laid 2 charges under the liquor licence for having open alcohol in a motor vehicle and one 3 day suspension for a 67 year old male that registered a “warn” on a roadside screening device.

 

Almost got away with it:

On the 23rd of August 2019 officers were conducting a RIDE program.  A vehicle came through that program and a passenger was found to have an open bottle of alcohol in that vehicle.  The male identified himself with a driver’s licence and he was charged accordingly.  

On the 5th of September 2019 at 1:50 a.m. officers dealt with that male at a traffic stop.  The officer that had dealt with him on the 23rd of August realized that the male had falsely identified himself at that RIDE program.  This time his true identity was revealed.  A 33 year old male has now been arrested and charged with personation, obstruct police, breach of probation, having 2 driver’s licenses, possession of an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle, driving while prohibited, possession of  a controlled substance and possession of  a prohibited weapon (butterfly knife).
