A Penetanguishene man is facing numerous charges following a fail-to-remain collision on New Year’s Day in Midland.
At about 1 a.m. Wednesday, a police officer was flagged down by someone who “appeared to have his grey Ford parked as to intentionally block a residential driveway on Hugel Avenue,” Southern Georgian Bay OPP said in a news release.
Police were told a black Cadillac parked farther in the driveway was involved in a nearby collision with the complainant and that the driver of the Cadillac had fled the scene and entered the driveway.
The officer spoke with the suspect and seized an open container of liquor and suspected methamphetamine.
Anthony Brown, 25, has been charged with the following:
- Operation while impaired (alcohol and drugs)
- Operation while impaired (blood-alcohol concentration 80-plus)
- Possession of a Schedule 1 substance (methamphetamine)
- Careless driving
- Being a novice driver with a blood-alcohol concentration above zero
- Fail to remain
- Driving a motor vehicle with an open container of liquor
He was released from custody with a Jan. 16 court date. He was issued a 90-day driver’s licence suspension and a seven-day vehicle impoundment.
