The female was apparently driving into oncoming traffic, drinking a bottle of alcohol while operating her mobility scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of the investigation, Janet Carlsen, 61 years old of Huntsville Ontario, has been charged with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Operation while impaired &#8211; alcohol\/drugs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Failure or refusal to comply with demand (Breath Sample)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The accused&nbsp;is set to appear in court on March 18, 2025, at the Ontario court of Justice in Bracebridge, Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On February 9, 2025, at 6 p.m., the Huntsville OPP was dispatched to a vehicle that was driving erratically on Main Street West in Huntsville.&nbsp;Police located the vehicle partially stuck in a snowbank on Main Street West.&nbsp;Police noted the female driver to show signs of intoxication. The investigation resulted in the driver&#8217;s arrest and further breath testing where the driver was found to have over 3 times the legal limit of alcohol in their body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barbara Riewe, 62 years old of Huntsville Ontario, has been charged with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Operation while impaired &#8211; blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operation while impaired &#8211; alcohol and drugs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Bracebridge on March 11, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The accused&#8217;s vehicle was impounded for 7 days, and they received a 90-day Administrative Driver&#8217;s Licence Suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The public is reminded that a vehicle that is motor-powered in any way is considered a vehicle under the Criminal Code of Canada, and any operator is subject to the laws surrounding impaired driving.&nbsp; This includes scooters, mobility devices and e-bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know or suspect that a driver is impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1. In doing so, you may save a life. Whether you are impaired by alcohol or drugs, impaired is impaired and driving under the influence of either is a criminal offence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on drinking or consuming drugs, plan to not drive. Instead, arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi or public transit, or come up with another plan that takes impaired driving out of the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about the consequences and penalties of driving impaired at:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/impaired-driving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Impaired driving | ontario.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Huntsville OPP The Huntsville Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have arrested two drivers for separate impaired-related offences.
