Less than a week after being arrested for drug trafficking, a Wallaceburg man is facing additional charges in connection with a two-vehicle crash in Belle River.
The Ontario Provincial Police said officers responded to the crash on South Street at the railroad tracks south of Adelaide Street, shortly before 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
Upon speaking to the driver and passenger of one of the vehicles, officers learned that they were violating previous court orders. Officers also believed that the driver was also showing signs of impairment. Both were arrested without incident.
As a result, a 38-year-old man from Wallaceburg is also charged with failing to comply with a probation order and failing to comply with a prohibition order.
A 37-year-old Wallaceburg man is charged with driving while impaired by drugs, failing to comply with a probation order, failing to comply with an undertaking, stopping on a road with no clear view, and failing to provide an insurance card.
He also faces three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking after officers discovered suspected cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine in a vehicle that had crashed into a ditch in Lakeshore on Sunday.
