(CALEDON, ON) - Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have recently charged a motorist with operation while impaired after registering a blood alcohol concentration over twice the legal limit.
On March 3, 2026, at approximately 6:30 am, Caledon OPP officers were on general patrol in the area of Mayfield Road and Airport Road, in the Town of Caledon. Officers observed an individual asleep behind the wheel of an idling vehicle at a nearby business. Investigating officers approached the vehicle and formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.
Following the investigation, a 30-year-old from Brampton was charged with:
- Operation while impaired - alcohol
- Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to their charges. The involved vehicle was also impounded for a period of seven days, and their driver’s licence was suspended for a period of 90 days.
