The Huntsville OPP has arrested an individual for driving impaired after observing erratic driving and conducting a traffic stop on Main Street in the Town of Huntsville.

On January 26, 2025, at 10:14 p.m., the Huntsville OPP was on patrol and observed a vehicle leaving a licenced establishment and driving erratically, and a traffic stop was conducted.

The driver failed the Roadside Screening Device test and was required to submit to further testing.

As a result of the investigation, Christopher ASHDOWN, 40-year-old of Huntsville, Ontario, has been charged with:

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

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on March 4, 2025.

If you plan to drink alcohol or take drugs, don’t include driving in that plan. 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.
