OPP officials allege: A 23-year-old Sarnia resident is facing multiple charges after a traffic stop by police in St. Clair Township.
An officer with the Ontario Provincial Police West Region Traffic Incident Management and Enforcement team initiated the stop on Kimball Road at about 3:20 p.m. on April 11 while conducting proactive traffic enforcement.

The accused received a 90-day administrative driver’s licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
Police said the accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Sarnia on May 5.
