A 43-year-old Ontario man is charged after falsely accusing his partner of impaired driving, with police discovering he was the one driving under the influence.
A 43-year-old Ontario man is facing multiple charges after making a false 9-1-1 call in which they accused their partner of impaired driving, only for police to discover that the caller was the one behind the wheel.
On March 3 at approximately 3:40 a.m., the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a possible impaired driver on Highway 17 in Aweres Township.
The 9-1-1 call came from an individual who claimed their partner had left their residence and was driving under the influence of alcohol.
However, when police arrived, they could not locate the suspect vehicle but instead found the caller driving on Highway 17 in Goulais River.
After conducting a traffic stop, officers determined the driver had consumed alcoholic beverages, police say in a statement.
Further investigation revealed that the caller had intentionally misled authorities about their partner’s involvement and was actually driving impaired. It was also discovered that the driver had assaulted their partner the previous evening, according to police.
The individual was arrested and charged with several offenses, including operation while impaired by alcohol, public mischief, spousal assault, and forcible confinement.
They were held for a bail hearing and later released.
