(The BLUE MOUNTAINS, ON) – On December 19, 2024, just after 8:00 pm, members of Collingwood/Blue Mountains Ontario Provincial Police were dispatched to a single motor in the ditch and stuck in a snowbank near Camperdown Road and Highway 26. As a result of that investigation, the driver failed an Alcohol Screening Device.
51-year-old Melissa Carway of Meaford, ON was subsequently arrested and charged with:
· Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs
· Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
The motor vehicle was impounded for 7 days and the accused is set to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Owen Sound on January 16th, 2025.
