(ATIKOKAN, ON) � A traffic complaint about a motorhome swerving on the road ended with the arrest of an impaired driver.



On September 2, 2024, at approximately 8:00 pm, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in Atikokan responded to a report of a motorhome that was swerving all over the road. Officers located the vehicle on Highway 11 near Armis Lake and conducted a vehicle stop.



The responding officer determined that the driver had been consuming alcohol and conducted a roadside screening test. The driver failed the test and was arrested and transported to the Atikokan OPP detachment where additional breath testing was completed by demand.

Reginald Galbraith, 72-years-old, from Thunder Bay is charged with one count of impaired operation blood alcohol concentration 80 mgs plus. The accused�s driver�s license was suspended for 90 days, and the vehicle was impounded for 7 days.

The accused was released by police and is scheduled to appear in the Atikokan Ontario Court of Justice on October 24, 2024, to speak to the charge.

Fact about impaired driving, the offence of impaired operation doesn�t mean the vehicle or conveyance needs to be moving. In law, operation is presumed if a person is occupying the driver�s seat. The onus is on the accused to establish that they did not occupy that seat for the purpose of setting the conveyance in motion. Road safety is the shared responsibility of everyone. If you suspect an impaired driver, call 9-1-1.
