Members of the Manitouwadge Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) conducted a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E) checkpoint which has led to one individual being arrested and charged for impaired operation.

On December 14, 2022, at approximately 7:53 p.m., members of the Manitouwadge OPP Detachment initiated a R.I.D.E checkpoint at the intersection of Redwing and Ohsweken Road in the Town of Manitouwadge.

Through investigation, it was determined that the driver of a 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 of the investigation, Terrence SHEARER, 72-years-old, of Manitouwadge, has been arrested and charged with:
