DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE ?
Sault Ste Marie, Ont.,

Being out with dad’s car in the middle of the night is going to cost one 16-year-old. Especially since dad didn’t know he had the car.

On Saturday morning at about 4:00 a.m. officers with the Sault Ste Marie Detachment stopped a vehicle near the east city limits.

The driver appeared to be a bit young and he was unable to produce a licence. The officers quickly were able to determine that the youth had his dad’s car and dad didn’t know that the car was gone.

He was given a $300.00 ticket for driving with no licence and taken home. His father will decide if he should be charged under the Criminal Code with Take Auto Without Owners Consent.

IT’S BAIL COURT FOR THIS DRINKER
Sault Ste Marie, Ont.,

A 31-year-old Sault Ste. Marie man will appear in bail court this afternoon after being arrested for impaired driving last night.

At about midnight, officers were traveling on lower McNabb Street when a vehicle came up behind them with no lights on. Officers watched as the vehicle weaved in and out of its lane several times.

The car was pulled over and the officers quickly determined that the man was impaired. Further investigation revealed that he was already on bail for other criminal charges and one of his conditions is that he abstain from alcohol.

He is being held in custody until bail court this afternoon.
