On April 20, 2023, shortly after 3:30 a.m., members of the Manitouwadge OPP Detachment responded to a traffic complaint of a single motor vehicle collision on Manitou Road in the Town of Manitouwadge.
Through investigation, it was determined that the driver of the motor vehicle had been impaired by alcohol. The driver was subsequently placed under arrest and transported to the Manitouwadge OPP Detachment for further testing.
As a result, Matthew ALEXANDER, 28-years-old, of Manitouwadge, has been arrested and charged under the Criminal Code with:

The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Manitouwadge on August 2, 2023, to answer to the above charges.
