Huntsville OPP lay two DUI charges over the weekend

From the Huntsville OPP

The Huntsville Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police has arrested two drivers in separate incidents related to alleged impaired driving offences.

On February 22, 2025, at 1:07 a.m., the Huntsville OPP was conducting patrols on King William Street and stopped a vehicle, resulting in the driver being arrested for impaired driving  

As a result of the investigation, Tim KNIGHT, 27 years old of Huntsville Ontario, has been charged with:

  • Operation while impaired – alcohol/drugs
  • Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

The accused’s vehicle was impounded for 7 days, and they received a 90 Administrative Driver’s license Suspension.

The accused is set to appear in court on April 15, 2025, at the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge, Ontario.

On February 23, 2025 at 2:30 a.m., the Huntsville OPP were dispatched to a vehicle that was struck in a snow bank on Main St East in Huntsville. Upon arrival, police spoke with a female driver, who they believed was intoxicated.

As a result of the investigation, Karissa SMITH, 27 years old of Gravenhurst Ontario, has been charged with:

  • Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
  • Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs

The accused vehicle was impounded for 7 days and they received a 90 Administrative Driver’s license Suspension.

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on March 11, 2025.

Both of these events could have easily been avoided had the drivers planned ahead before consuming alcohol or drugs. Don’t include drinking in any plans to drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another option that takes driving out of the picture altogether.
