South Simcoe Police recently responded to a report of a driving complaint in the area of Coffey Road and Line 5 in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury.

The incident took place on Friday, Sept. 20, at approximately 11 p.m.

Initial reports indicated that a male was slumped over in the driver’s seat of a running vehicle in a live traffic lane.

Police, fire, and EMS all arrived on scene and woke up the male.

To rule out impairment of alcohol, a road-side demand was performed and a reading of zero was provided. The Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) evaluation indicated the accused was not impaired by drug at that given time.

As a result of an investigation, a 41-year-old male from Burlington was charged with Possession of Schedule I Drug and Driving While Suspended.

His vehicle was impounded for seven days.
