The first case happened Tuesday, June 26 at about 8 p.m., when officers responded to a single-vehicle rollover on County Road 1. Police found a vehicle in the ditch and say the driver showed signs of alcohol use. A roadside breath test resulted in a fail. Chanel McKenzie, 20, of Picton, faces multiple charges including impaired driving and novice driver with alcohol above zero.
The second incident occurred Wednesday, July 1 at about 3 a.m. during a RIDE checkpoint at County Road 4 and George Wright Boulevard. Officers say two breath tests also resulted in a fail. Christopher Sampson, 41, of Picton, was charged with impaired driving offences.
Both accused were released and will appear in Picton court later.
