An Ohsweken man has been charged with multiple offences after he failed to proceed through a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) program.
Officers with the Six Nations Police were stationed on Mohawk Road to conduct a R.I.D.E program at approximately 8:10 p.m. pm Saturday, May 18, 2024.
Officers observed the vehicle travelling towards the program. The vehicle turned around, avoiding the R.I.D.E location. Officers conducted a traffic stop of the vehicle and observed a male driver and passenger. The driver displayed signs of impairment. Police advised the driver that he was being pulled over to check for sobriety.
As a result of the investigation, Randy Berry HILL (64 years old) of Ohsweken, Ontario has been charged with the following offences:
– Impaired Operation
– Alcohol per se Offence “80 plus”
– Operation while Prohibited x 2
– Driving while under Suspension
The accused was held in custody pending a formal bail hearing and is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date in Brantford, Ontario.
Drivers are reminded that the Mandatory Alcohol Screening law allows police with an approved alcohol screening device to demand a roadside breath sample from any lawfully stopped driver without having reasonable suspicion that a driver is alcohol impaired.
The Six Nations Police remain committed to taking alcohol/drug-impaired drivers off our roads through enforcement and public education.
