In a recent statement made by the Ontario Provincial Police on April 24th, 2026, officers confirmed that an individual is facing impaired driving charges following multiple reports of concerning driving behaviour in the Trent Hills area.
Police say that on April 19th, 2026, officers received several complaints regarding a vehicle unable to maintain its lane while travelling along County Road 25 in the Municipality of Trent Hills. The reports indicated that the manner of driving raised immediate concerns for public safety.
Officers responded to the area and were subsequently able to locate the vehicle in the Township of Cramahe. A traffic stop was conducted, and an investigation into the driver’s condition and ability to safely operate a motor vehicle was initiated.
As a result of the investigation, a 30-year-old male from Curve Lake First Nation was arrested and charged with impaired driving-related offences under the Criminal Code.
In addition to the charges laid, police confirmed that the driver’s licence was suspended for a period of 90 days, and the involved vehicle was impounded for seven days in accordance with provincial legislation.
The accused has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear before the court in June, where the matter will be addressed through the judicial process.
Police have not released the name of the accused at this time
