Suspected drunk driver arrested twice in Caledon in June: police
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say they arrested a 40-year-old Caledon resident twice last month for allegedly driving while drunk.
He was first apprehended on the afternoon of June 8 near Airport Road and Old Church Road. Police say they were notified of a person who appeared intoxicated attempting to drive away from a store.
'Officers investigated and formed grounds that the driver's ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol and was subsequently arrested,' police said.
He was charged with driving while under suspension, being intoxicated in a public place, operating while impaired (alcohol), and failure or refusal to comply with demand.
OPP added that the driver's vehicle was also impounded for seven days and their licence was suspended for 90 days.
On June 30, the same driver allegedly appeared intoxicated while leaving a parking lot in the same area. When officers found the vehicle, they conducted a traffic stop, OPP said.
The driver was arrested and charged with driving while under suspension and operating while impaired with a blood alcohol concentration of 80 plus.
OPP said his vehicle was impounded for seven days and his licence was again suspended for 90 days.

Prosecutors stay charge for man convicted in 1987 killing, says Innocence Canada
A courtroom at the Edmonton Law Courts building in Edmonton on Friday, June 28, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson The group representing an Alberta man who spent decades in prison for the death of an Edmonton woman says his charge has been stayed. Innocence Canada says Roy Allan Sobotiak was to appear in court Friday to set a date for his new trial, but says the Crown Prosecution Service stayed his second-degree murder charge. Lawyer James Lockyer says the group was 'delighted' by the news and believes this is the longest a wrongly convicted person has spent in prison in Canada. Sobotiak was granted bail earlier this year for his 1991 life sentence in the 1987 murder of Susan Kaminsky after former federal justice minister Arif Virani ordered a new trial due to what he called a likely 'miscarriage of justice.' Lawyers for Alberta Justice had requested a judicial review, arguing that Virani provided no reasoning as to why a new trial was warranted. A spokesperson for the provincial government did not immediately return a request for comment. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025. Aaron Sousa, The Canadian Press
