- Two counts of fail to comply with conditions of undertaking given by officer in charge
- Driving while ability impaired by alcohol
The second incident happened the next day when Bancroft OPP responded to a traffic complaint on Highway 127 in Hastings Highlands. While on-route, officers got another call and were told that a vehicle in the same area had crashed. Officers went to that area and found the vehicle involved. After speaking with the driver, they determied he had been drinking and placed him under arrest.
As a result of that investigation, a 48-year old female from Hastings Highlands has been charged with:
- Driving with more than 80 mgs of alcohol in blood
They both had their license suspended for seven days and their cars will be impounded for 90 days.
