Orillia driver charged with impaired by drug use

PORT CARLING — Pot is still illegal for a few more weeks.

A 58-year-old woman was pulled over and charged with impairment by drug use in Port Carling May 24.

But as far as police are concerned, you still can’t be impaired behind the wheel due to drug use.

Provincial police say that on Thursday May 24, 2018, at 2:20 a.m., a Bracebridge OPP officer became concerned about the driving behaviour of a motorist on Joseph Street, Port Carling and conducted a traffic stop.

As a result of the investigation, police arrested and charged 58 year-old Susan Reilly, of Orillia, with Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle by DRUG CC 253(1)(a).

The accused received an immediate 90 day driver’s licence suspension and further had her vehicle towed and impounded. She will appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on June 26, 2018 to answer to her charge.
