(CALEDON, ON) – On June 21, 2014 shortly before 3:50 am, an officer from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was on patrol in the area of Airport Road and Castlederg Side Road. The officer observed a black BMW travelling at a high rate of speed westbound on Castlederg Side Road. As the officer caught up to the vehicle, he observed the driver make an abrupt turn onto Airport Road. The officer noted that the driver was driving erratically, swerving from the fog line to the center line of the roadway and continued at a high rate of speed. The officer activated the emergency equipment and the driver was stopped at the intersection of Airport Road and Old Church Road. Upon speaking with the male driver, the officer immediately detected a strong odour of alcohol on the driver’s breath. As a result, the driver was arrested and transported to Detachment to determine the level of blood alcohol in his system.
Ruban Singh DHALIWAL, 23, of Caledon was arrested and charged with Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Over 80 and Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle.
The Administrative Drivers’ Licence Suspension (ADLS) program was initiated and his motor vehicle was impounded for seven days.
The accused is scheduled to make his first appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on July 17, 2014.
