19 Year Old Arrested For Drunk Driving – Name Released

(GODERICH, ON) – Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has charged an Ashfield Colborne Wawanosh Township resident with Impaired Operation – Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 Plus), along with several other offences following a failed roadside test on June 3rd, 2023, at 1:50 a.m. on Wolfe Street in the Town of Goderich. 

Huron County OPP officers were patrolling in Goderich when they observed a pickup truck travelling at a high rate of speed northbound on Victoria Street. The vehicle turned onto Wolfe Street, at which time officers conducted a traffic stop. In speaking with the driver, the investigating officer believed that the driver had consumed alcohol prior to driving, which led to a roadside screening device test on the driver. The roadside breath test resulted in a failure and the driver was placed under arrest and taken into custody. 

The accused was then transported to the Huron OPP Detachment for further breath tests. Two samples of breath were supplied to the Intoxilyzer Technician and both tests were found to be over the legal limit. 

Ryan DICKSON, 19 years of age from Ashfield Colborne Wawanosh Twp has been charged with:

–      Operation While Impaired – Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 Plus).

The accused was additionally charged with offences found in the Cannabis Control Act (CCA), Liquor Licence Control Act (LLCA), Highway Traffic Act (HTA), and the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act (CAIA).

The involved vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days, and the accused’ driver’s license was suspended for a period of 90 days.

The accused was released from custody with a court appearance scheduled at the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich.
