Driver, 21, arrested after OPP find open booze in vehicle

A traffic stop on Black Road has resulted in a number of impaired driving related charges for a Sault Ste. Marie resident.

A news release issued by Sault Ste. Marie OPP states that on Sunday evening, officers "observed a motor vehicle without its headlights activated, and travelling in an unsafe manner."

Both open and sealed containers of alcohol were located within the vehicle during the traffic stop.

As a result, 21-year-old Jagdeep Jagdeep, is charged with:

    •    Operation while Impaired - Alcohol and Drugs
    •    Operation while Impaired - Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 plus)
    •    Drive without Proper Headlights
    •    Novice Driver - BAC Above Zero
    •    Driver Fail to Surrender Licence
    •    Driving Motor Vehicle with Open Container of Liquor

Jagdeep was issued a 90-day administrative drivers licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.

He is scheduled back in court on April 29.

None of the allegations have been tested in court and Jagdeep is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
