Lawn tractor stopped on trail, Tay Valley Township man faces impaired charge
A Tay Valley Township man has been charged with impaired driving after police stopped a lawn tractor that was being driven along an ATV trail.
On Saturday just after 9 p.m., OPP officers from the Lanark County detachment were conducting traffic enforcement along Highway 7, between Perth and Maberly, when they noticed a lawn tractor being operated on a recreational trail, police said in a news release Monday.
When the rider saw the officers, he drove off in the opposite direction, police said, but officers were able to intercept and stop the individual.
Jim Dixon, 59, was charged with operation while impaired, alcohol, and failure to comply with a probation order, and has had his driver's licence suspended for 90 days.
