2 Caledon drivers face impaired charges

A pair of drivers in Caledon are facing charges of impaired operation following traffic stops in the community on Sunday.

The Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) says that on April 3, at about 2:15 a.m., officers responded to a single vehicle into the ditch in the area of Old School Road and Heart Lake Road. While on scene, officers formed grounds to believe that the driver’s ability were impaired. The driver was arrested and taken to an OPP detachment where breath tests were conducted.

As a result, Manavjot Saini, 29, of Caledon, was changed with:

• Operation while impaired — blood alcohol concentration (B.A.C.) over 80 mg
• Operation while impaired — alcohol

On the same day, at approximately 9:01 p.m., officers responded to a fail-to-remain collision on Kingsview Drive. The officer suspected that the driver’s abilities were impaired, and asked for a sample of their breath into an approved roadside screening device. As a result of the investigation, the driver was arrested for impaired operation and taken to an OPP Detachment where further breath tests were conducted.

As a result, Patrick Price, 26, of Caledon, was charged with:

• Operation while impaired — blood alcohol concentration (B.A.C.) over 80 mg

Both accused are slated to make court appearances in June to answer to the charges. Both involved vehicles were impounded for seven days and the driver’s licences were suspended for a period of 90 days.
