A 33-year-old Barrie man faces multiple charges stemming from an incident that took place yesterday in the Township of Oro-Medonte.
In a news release issued today, OPP say a member of the Central Region Traffic Incident Management and Enforcement (TIME) Team was conducting speed checks on Highway 400 in Oro-Medonte shortly before 11 a.m. when the officer observed a vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed and weaving through traffic in a dangerous manner. The officer followed a short distance and initiated a traffic stop.
Upon speaking with the driver, the officer determined they were impaired. The driver was subsequently placed under arrest and transported to the Orillia OPP detachment for further testing by a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE).
As a result of the investigation, Guy Beasley has been arrested and charged with:
- Operation while impaired - alcohol and drugs
- Dangerous operation
- Driving while under suspension
- Failure to comply with release order
- Fail to surrender insurance card
- Speeding over posted limit
He was also issued a 90-day driver's licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orillia on Aug. 16, 2022.
