(OXFORD COUNTY, ON) – On May 4, 2024, at approximately 12:30 a.m., members of the Oxford detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting enforcement patrols when they initiated a traffic stop on Hollingshead Road in the Town of Ingersoll.
Alcohol consumption was suspected so an Approved Screening Device (ASD) test was administered to determine an approximate Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) for the driver. The test resulted in a Fail, and the driver was transported to the detachment for further testing.
As a result, Shawn BAUER, a 34-year-old from Ingersoll, has been charged with the following Criminal Code offence:
· Operation While Impaired -Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 plus)
The accused has been released and is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice, located in Woodstock, on June 25, 2024.
The OPP remind motorists that no amount of alcohol or drug is acceptable to consume and drive.
