25-YEAR-OLD BOATER CHARGED WITH IMPAIRED

GRAVENHURST — A 25-year-old boater faces impaired driving charges after being stopped on Lake Muskoka Saturday.

Provincial police say their marine unit was patrolling the lake in Gravenhurst July 25 and stopped a vessel for a routine check.

Officers found presence of alcohol and charged the operator, 25 year-old Claudia Lelki, of North York, with Impaired Operation – over 80 CC 320.14(1)(b).

She is to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on Oct. 6.

A charge for impaired operation on a vessel carries the same consequence as operating a motor vehicle and therefore her driver’s license has been suspended for 90 days.

The OPP marine unit was patrolling Lake Muskoka in Gravenhurst Saturday when they charged a North York woman with impaired operation.
