On Sunday May 8th, 2016, at approximately 6:45 p.m. Quinte West OPP responded to an anonymous complaint of a possible impaired man sitting in a parked vehicle at a Dundas Street East business in Trenton. The anonymous caller stated that the man was behaving strangely and yelling.
Police located the man a short time later still sitting in the parked vehicle. Police investigation led to the arrest of the man for care and control of a motor vehicle while being impaired. The accused was transported to the Quinte West OPP detachment where he failed to provide a suitable sample of breath for analysis. The investigation also revealed that the motor vehicle had been taken by the accused without the owner’s consent.
