(KINCARDINE, ON) – One person is facing charges after the South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) located an impaired driver during a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) check.

On July 11, 2024, at 11:13 p.m., the South Bruce OPP were conducting a RIDE check on Bruce Road 23 in the Municipality of Kincardine. Officers were utilizing Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) which means an Alcohol Screening Device (ASD) is used on every driver. A vehicle entered the RIDE check and the driver registered a fail on the ASD.

As a result, Robert Melanson, 57-years-old from Hamilton was charged with operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus).

The accused is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice located in Walkerton on September 4, 2024.

As part of enhancing its efforts to deter impaired drivers and make roads safer, all OPP officers in Highway Safety Division Detachments throughout the GTA are now conducting Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) as part of every lawful traffic stop.

Drivers are reminded that the federal Mandatory Alcohol Screening law allows a police officer with an approved alcohol screening device to demand a roadside breath sample from any lawfully stopped driver without having reasonable suspicion that a driver is alcohol impaired.

If you suspect an impaired driver, please call 911.
