Accident – Death – Obituary News :
One individual is facing charges, including impaired driving and resisting arrest, following a police response to a report of an erratic driver in the vicinity of Pine Street and Queen Street East on Saturday evening.
The suspect’s vehicle was discovered in the Bellevue Marina parking lot, where responding officers suspected that the driver’s “ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol,” according to a news release from the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service.
Authorities stated that the driver resisted arrest and refused to provide a breath sample.
It is essential to note that all accusations are yet to be examined in court, and the accused is considered innocent until proven guilty.
The complete text of the news release is as follows:
On the evening of May 25, 2024, members of Patrol Services apprehended Charles Syrette, a 40-year-old, and charged him with operating a vehicle while impaired, failing to comply with a demand, resisting a peace officer, and driving while prohibited.
At approximately 8 p.m., 911 dispatchers received a report of a vehicle exhibiting erratic driving behaviour in the vicinity of Pine Street and Queen Street East. Officers were dispatched to the scene and located the vehicle in a marina parking lot on Pine Street. As they approached the vehicle, the driver attempted to reverse out of the area but eventually stopped.
Upon engaging with the driver, identified as the accused, officers had reason to believe that his ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol. Following this, as officers returned to their cruiser to further investigate the accused, the individual exited their vehicle and attempted to walk away. Despite the accused physically resisting arrest, officers managed to apprehend him.
Subsequently, officers administered a breath sample demand to the accused, who declined to provide one.
The accused faces the following charges:
• Driving while impaired by drugs and/or alcohol
• Driving while prohibited
• Failure or refusal to comply with a demand
• Resisting a peace officer
The accused was released on an undertaking and is set to appear in court on June 17, 2024.
