4 impaired driving charges laid in Caledon in a single weekend

The Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police says four drivers are facing impaired driving charges after incidents that happened between Feb. 4 and 6.

Last Friday (Feb. 4), on Airport Road at approximately 1:34 p.m., Caledon OPP officers responded to a traffic complaint from a motorist. The vehicle was located and stopped. Since the officer suspected that the driver’s driving abilities were impaired, they were asked to provide a sample of their breath into an approved roadside screening device, which resulted in a “fail” reading.

The driver was then placed under arrest for impaired driving and transported to the Caledon OPP Detachment, where further breath tests were conducted.

Manjit Aulak, 46, of Orangeville, faces a charge of operation while impaired — blood alcohol concentration (BAC.) over 80 mg (per 100 millilitres of blood).

On Saturday (Feb. 5), around 12:49 p.m., a patrol officer observed a vehicle on Innis Lake Road being operated in an unsafe manner. The vehicle was stopped and the officer formed grounds to arrest the driver for impaired driving. They were later transported to the Caledon OPP Detachment where further breath tests were conducted.

Manjinder GILL, 41, of Caledon, has been charged with operation while impaired — blood alcohol concentration (BAC.) over 80 mg; operator of a motor vehicle while impaired; and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
