(CALEDON, ON) - Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) conducted eight alcohol-related investigations in just 26 hours.
Between October 18, 2025, at approximately 11:30 pm, and October 20, 2025, at approximately 1:30 am, Caledon OPP conducted numerous traffic stops upon vehicles that travelled through Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) programs in various locations around Caledon. On three occasions, officers formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol and were later criminally charged as a result of those investigations.
Mandeep JUDGE, 51, of Brampton, was charged with:
- Operation while impaired - alcohol
- Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
Michael D’ANGELO, 43, of Caledon, was charged with:
- Failure or refusal to comply with demand
Megh PATEL, 24, of Brampton, was charged with:
- Failure or refusal to comply with demand
During those RIDE programs, an additional four motorists were found to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) within the “warn range”, resulting in an immediate three-day driver’s licence suspension.
In addition, Caledon OPP officers responded to a report of a single vehicle collision on King Street, near Emil Kolb Parkway, in the Town of Caledon. During that investigation, officers formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.
As a result, Anila RIZVI, 45, of Barrie, was charged with:
- Operation while impaired - alcohol
- Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
All four accused parties are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to their charge(s). The vehicles were also impounded for a period of seven days, and their driver’s licences were suspended for a period of 90 days.
