TOWNSHIP OF PUSLINCH - On Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018 at approximately 4:20 p.m., members of the Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) check on Gore Road at Maddaugh Road.

Officers investigated the driver of a white sedan that entered into the R.I.D.E. checkpoint. While speaking with the male, officers formed the opinion that he was under the influence of alcohol.

A roadside screening device test was conducted which resulted in a fail. He was arrested and brought to a local OPP Operations Centre for further testing.

Thirty-one-year-old Jeremy Dugandzic of Brampton has been charged with driving with over 80 mgs of alcohol in 100mL of blood contrary to the Criminal Code.

A 90-day administrative driver's licence suspension (A.D.L.S.) and seven-day vehicle impoundment was initiated as per statute. He is scheduled to appear in Guelph Court on Jan. 8, 2019 to answer to the charge.
