BRACEBRIDGE — A Gravenhurst man faces an impaired charge after being pulled over in a RIDE stop.

A RIDE stop on Muskoka Beach Road resulted in charges for a Gravenhurst man.

Provincial police say that on Wednesday May 23 at 10 p.m. officers were conducting a RIDE check on Muskoka Beach Road in Gravenhurst when a vehicle was observed trying to avoid the check point.

Officers stopped the vehicle a short distance away and determined that alcohol was a factor.
