A 28-year-old Belleville man is facing impaired driving charges following a traffic stop during an OPP RIDE program in Quinte West.
Police say officers were conducting roadside checks at the intersection of Hamilton Road and Vandervoort Road shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday, November 5, when they stopped a vehicle and arrested the driver.
William Sulan has been charged with impaired operation of a vehicle and operating with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 80 milligrams.
The accused received a 90-day licence suspension, and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.
Sulan was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Belleville court on December 17.
Quinte West OPP remind motorists that RIDE checks can take place anywhere and at any time as part of ongoing efforts to prevent impaired driving.
Anyone who suspects an impaired driver is urged to call 911.
