From the Huntsville OPP
Officers of the Huntsville Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police are always looking for criminal driving behaviour. In addition to the two impaired drivers during the long weekend, two more impaired drivers were taken off the roadway thanks to concerned citizens reporting their driving behaviour.
On July 30, 2025, at 11:07 p.m., police were dispatched to a report of a vehicle driven erratically westbound on Highway 60 in the Town of Huntsville. Police located the vehicle and observed the same erratic driving and arrested the individual.
As a result of the investigation, police have charged Shamus NOONE, 40 years old of South River, Ontario, with:
- Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs

The accused was released with an August 2025 court date before the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge.
The accused was also issued a 90 Administrative Driver’s Licence Suspension and the vehicle was impounded for 7 days.

The accused was released with a September 2025 court date before the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IMPAIRED DRIVING.
These event could have easily been avoided had the drivers planned ahead before consuming alcohol or drugs. Don’t include alcohol or drugs 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.
If you suspect impaired driving, please call 911. Keep our roads safe!
