A Timmins woman is at the centre of three incidents that took place within 48 hours of each other earlier this month, including a police chase and two occurrences of impaired driving, police said.
During the early morning hours on March 8, the Timmins Police Service responded to a call from a concerned citizen regarding a woman behaving erratically at the airport before driving away in a pickup truck.
“(An) officer observed the vehicle being driven in an erratic fashion on Airport Road in Timmins,” police said in a news release late Wednesday.
Police initiated a traffic stop and the officer noted obvious signs of impairment, according to the release.
“Based on the observations made by the officer,” said police.
“The driver of the vehicle was arrested and taken to the Timmins Police station to complete Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) testing procedures.”
As a result of the testing, the 32-year-old woman from Timmins was charged with impaired driving and driving a motor vehicle with cannabis readily available. A 90-day administrative driver’s licence suspension was also issued.
