(GODERICH, ON) – A 34-year-old driver of Goderich is facing charges of Care or Control While Impaired and Care or Control - Over-80 Milligrams of Alcohol, following his arrest this past weekend.
At approximately 11:50 p.m. on July 30, a Huron County OPP officer received information from a member of the public about a possible impaired driver parked at the Mac’s Convenience Store, located at Victoria Street South in Goderich.
The officer approached the suspect vehicle, a Chevrolet Impala, and looked inside the vehicle. The vehicle was now unattended and a young male suspect was observed running away from the vehicle toward the rear of the convenience store.
The officer monitored the parked vehicle and about 15 minutes later, the man returned and entered the vehicle. The officer activated his lights and then approached the vehicle where the suspect was located in the driver’s seat in care and control of the vehicle. Upon speaking with the man, the officer noted the driver had been drinking alcohol and was displaying several signs of impairment.
He was placed under arrest for Impaired Care and Control, and was transported to the Huron OPP detachment for breath tests. He subsequently provided two samples of his breath to a qualified Intoxilizer Technician and both samples registered over the legal limit.
As a result, Shaun JAMIESON, 34, of Goderich, has been charged with Care or Control While Impaired and Care or Control - Over-80 Milligrams of Alcohol. He has since been released from custody with a court appearance scheduled for the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich, Aug. 15. He also received an automatic 90-day driver’s licence suspension and his motor vehicle has been impounded for seven days.
