Impaired Driving Charge

Brockville – On December 5, 2023, at about 6:30 pm, police received a call regarding a female appearing to be unresponsive behind the wheel of a vehicle. The vehicle was observed in the area of Downey St.

Officers arrived and located a 44-year-old, female, alone in the vehicle and obviously impaired. She was placed under arrest and transported to the Brockville Police Service for further testing.

It was also learned that this female had a warrant for her arrest about a theft, which occurred earlier this year in August, at Shoppers Drug Mart.

There were no signs of impairment by alcohol and it was believed that she was impaired by drugs. A Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) performed testing which confirmed that she was impaired.
