A traffic stop was conducted. The officer investigated the driver for alcohol consumption resulting in the driver being arrested at the scene. The driver was transported to detachment where breath samples were obtained resulting in readings over the legal limit.

As the officer was investigating the matter by the roadside, several concerned motorists contacted the dispatcher advising that the same vehicle was observed driving in a dangerous manner prior to being pulled over by the OPP.

As a result, Taylor Grace Heron, 23, of London, was charged with:

• Operation while impaired – Blood Alcohol Concentration Equal to or Exceeding 80 mgs;

• Race a motor vehicle – excessive speed.

The driver received a 90-day driver’s license suspension and a 7-day vehicle impound.
