A 21-year-old Renfrew resident is facing impaired driving charges after Ontario Provincial Police stopped a vehicle travelling well below the speed limit on Highway 401 near Napanee.
Lennox and Addington County OPP say officers were conducting stationary radar just west of Napanee shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, when they observed a vehicle travelling 65 km/h in a posted 110 km/h zone.
Police stopped the vehicle and charged Landon Wright with impaired driving by alcohol, having a blood alcohol level over 80 mg, and several other offences.
The additional charges include possession of cocaine and oxycodone, unsafe move, unnecessary slow driving, driving with an open container of liquor and possession of unmarked cigarettes.
Wright was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Greater Napanee on Dec. 8.
His driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded.
