Traffic complaint leads to arrest

KAWARTHA LAKES-More and more people are taking matters into their own hands and busting alleged impaired drivers. Over the past few weeks we’ve heard of a number of cases where the public has called 911 to report suspicions.

Yesterday, officers from the City of Kawartha Lakes detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a traffic complaint on Yankee Line at approximately 8:30 pm.

Police say the vehicle was located a short time later at a Lindsay area business and following an investigation the driver, 36 year old Mathew Harwood of Lindsay was arrested and charged with Driving While Ability Impaired by Alcohol and Driving With More Than 80 mg of Alcohol in 100 ml of Blood.
