Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: A 25-year-old man from Walpole Island surrendered to police on an outstanding warrant Monday evening in connection with an impaired driving investigation that began earlier this fall.
On Sept. 29, 2025, at approximately 12:01 a.m., members of the Chatham-Kent Police Service conducted a traffic stop on Bluewater Line in Wallaceburg after observing a vehicle with an obscured licence plate. During the investigation, officers detected signs of alcohol impairment in the driver.
Police reported the driver failed to provide a suitable breath sample after multiple attempts and was arrested for failing to comply with a demand. He was transported to Chatham-Kent Police Service headquarters, where he was released with conditions and provided a court date of Nov. 24, 2025. Police said the accused failed to attend court, resulting in a warrant being issued for his arrest.
On Dec. 22, 2025, at approximately 5:06 p.m., the accused surrendered at Chatham-Kent Police Service headquarters on the outstanding warrant. He was released with a new scheduled court date.
