On Thursday, March 22, 2018, Huntsville Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was investigating a suspicious vehicle complaint in the town of Huntsville. The vehicle was located on Capstone Lane.

Investigation found that the driver had a suspended licence and had drug paraphernalia on him. It was determined that the driver was impaired by drug.

As a result Perry MacDONALD (33yrs) of Huntsville was charged with Driving while Ability Impaired by Drug under the Criminal Code of Canada, and Driving while Suspended under the Highway Traffic Act.

He will appear in the Ontario Court of Justice, Huntsville on April 18, 2018 to answer to his charges.

    Should the Doppler publish the names of people charged with an offence but not yet found to be guilty? In this particular case the situation looks cut and dry but I have seen the names of people merely accused of committing a crime or offence. Their reputation is shot.
