A 41-year-old faces impaired charges stemming from an incident that took place earlier this week.
In a news release issued today, Sault Ste. Marie OPP said that around 1 a.m. on Wednesday while travelling to their patrol area, an officer saw a vehicle at the intersection of McNabb Street and South Market Street nearly collide with a median and a traffic stop was subsequently initiated.

- Failure of Refusal to Comply with Demand, contrary to section 320.15(1) of the CC
The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Sault Ste Marie on Sept. 19, 2022.
The driver was issued a 90-day licence suspension and had their vehicle impounded for seven days.
