impaired driving and drug charges

Posted on 23 Apr 2012 by Cst. Terry Stanley

Early Saturday morning, April 21 at 1:45 a.m. Cobourg Police observed a car being driven erratically on Division Street. The car was occupied by a male and a female and it was stopped just south of Elgin Street.

When police began to talk to the male driver, they could detect the odour of alcohol from his breath. Despite telling police he had not been drinking, he failed a roadside-breath test and was arrested. Once returned to the police office, two more breathalyzer tests produced readings over twice the legal limit.

A search of the car by another officer resulted in the discovery of a quantity of suspected marijuana in a Ziploc bag in the centre console of the vehicle.

The 37 year old male driver, a Bewdley resident, has been charged with operating a motor vehicle with over 80 mg. Both he and his female passenger, a 31 year old North York resident, have been charged with possession of a controlled substance.
