NIPIGON — A pair of traffic complaints led to the arrest of a Thunder Bay man on drinking and driving charges.
In a media release issued on Tuesday, Nipigon OPP said they received two complaints on May 21 just before 6:30 p.m. about a driver heading east along Highway 11/17 from the Shuniah area.
Police said they stopped the vehicle near Nipigon and the 37-year-old man then allegedly failed a breathalyzer test. According to the OPP, he was arrested and taken to the Nipigon detachment for further testing.
The man faces a pair of impaired driving charges.
He was released from custody with a future court date in Nipigon, police said.
It is Newswatch policy not to name people facing criminal accusations when we are unlikely to follow the case to its conclusion in the courts.
