A man has been charged following a R.I.D.E. check.
On Thursday, the OPP had a stop set up on Bowes Street in Parry Sound.
Shortly after 10:00pm a car approached the R.I.D.E. and spoke to police. After talking with police, officers believed the man had been drinking.
The 25-year-old from Doura-Dummer Township was arrested and charged with driving with more than 80 mg. of alcohol in his blood.
The man was released on a Promise to Appear and is scheduled to appear at the Parry Sound court on December 20th. His driver’s license has been suspended for 90 days and the car he was driving has been impounded for seven.
The OPP is reminding drivers that there is no safe amount of drug or alcohol consumption when driving. Anyone who suspects that a driver may be impaired is urged to call the police.
