Police say a driver has been charged after police spotted a vehicle going too fast over the weekend.
On Aug. 3, shortly after midnight, the Sault Ste. Marie Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police were on patrol when officers observed a westbound car travelling at a "high rate of speed" on Trunk Road.
A traffic stop was initiated and while the officer was speaking to the driver, police determined the driver had consumed alcohol.
The driver was arrested and transported to the Sault Ste. Marie OPP detachment for further testing, police said.
As a result, Keith King, 33, from Sault Ste. Marie was charged with:
- Operation while impaired - alcohol
- Operation while impaired-blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
- Having care and control of a motor vehicle with unsealed container of liquor
- Driver fail to surrender licence
The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Sault Ste. Marie on Sept. 2.
The car was towed and impounded for seven days with the driver being issued a 90-day driver's licence suspension, police said.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and King is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
