The Kawartha Lakes Police Service has charged two individuals with impaired driving in separate incidents over the past few days.
The first incident occurred on April 5, 2026, just before midnight, when an officer observed a pickup truck in the area of Glenelg Street West and Lindsay Street South disobey a stop sign and continue to drive erratically on several streets while the officer attempted to stop the vehicle with emergency lights activated.
Once the vehicle was stopped, the male driver displayed obvious signs of alcohol consumption and was placed under arrest for impaired operation. He was transported to the Kawartha Lakes Police Service, where he provided breath samples that were above the legal limit.
A 47‑year‑old male was charged with Operation While Impaired � alcohol and drugs and Operation While Impaired � blood alcohol concentration (80 plus). He was released with a future court date.
The second incident occurred on April 7, 2026, just after 4:00 p.m., when a concerned citizen called 911 to report a male at a restaurant on Kent Street West who appeared to be intoxicated, entered a vehicle in the parking lot, and drove away. A description of the male and vehicle was provided to police.
A responding officer located the vehicle at the registered owner�s address. The driver was investigated and determined to have consumed alcohol. The driver failed an Approved Screening Device test and was placed under arrest for impaired operation. He was transported to the Kawartha Lakes Police Service, where he provided breath samples that were more than twice the legal limit.
A 59‑year‑old male was charged with Operation While Impaired � blood alcohol concentration (80 plus). He was released with a future court date.
In both incidents, the accused had their driver�s licence suspended for 90 days, and the vehicles were impounded for seven days.
