A vehicle matching the description was located and police conducted a traffic stop.
After speaking with the driver, officers entered into an impaired-driving investigation.
The motorist was taken into custody and transported to a detachment for further testing.
Twenty-seven-year-old Derrick Kiryowa of Whitby has been charged with:
- Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs

Later that same day at around 3:40 p.m., officers responded to a single‑vehicle collision on County Road 45 in the Township of Alnwick/Haldimand.
EMS were dispatched as a precaution after the vehicle left the roadway and entered a ditch.
After speaking with the uninjured driver, officers began an impaired-driving investigation.
The person was subsequently taken into custody.
Thirty-one-year-old Ruzo Bryan of Mississauga has been charged with:
- Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus.)
