PUSLINCH - On Friday, March 16, 2018 at approximately 11:30 p.m., Wellington County Ontario Provincial Police responded to a drunk-driving complaint at the intersection of Wellington Road 34 and Highway 6, north of the 401. Initial reports indicated a vehicle was idling at the intersection and the male driver was allegedly passed out over the steering wheel.
OPP and Guelph-Wellington Paramedics Service attended and woke the male. While speaking with the driver, officers formed the opinion that he was under the influence of alcohol. A Roadside Screening test was conducted which resulted in a fail. He was arrested and brought to a local OPP Operations Centre for further testing. The driver then failed to provide a breath sample.
Forty-three-year-old Baldeep S. Bisla of Cambridge has been charged with failing to provide a sample of breath contrary to the Criminal Code. A 90-day administrative driver's licence suspension and seven-day vehicle impoundment was initiated as per statute. He is scheduled to appear in Guelph Court on April 10, 2018.
