One person is facing impaired driving charges after a fight over a property in Plummer Additional Township.
Ontario Provincial Police were called to a Plummer Road residence near West Road at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
They say the driver of a black pick-up truck – who appeared to be impaired – slowly pulled into a field and began yelling at the homeowner.
“An altercation then ensued between the property owner and the driver who believed that this property was his,” OPP allege in a news release.
Arriving officers arrested the suspect, brought him to the Thessalon detachment for testing and lodged him until sober.
Hal McKendry, 62, of Goulais River was charged with:
- Operation while impaired - alcohol
- Operation while impaired-blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
- Driving motor vehicle with open container of liquor
- Enter premises when entry prohibited
In addition, the pick-up truck was impounded for seven days with the driver’s licence suspended for 90 days.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
