NORTHUMBERLAND- Northumberland OPP officers received information regarding a possible impaired driver that was being followed by a fellow motorist on Wednesday June 18, 2025, at approximately 7:30 pm.
Police say a citizen had concerns for an individual who they observed leaving an establishment in the Cobourg area, get into a black SUV and drive out of the parking lot proceeding northbound on County Road 45 and called police. Police say officers located the vehicle in a driveway on Roebuck Road in Baltimore and spoke to an individual which matched the descriptors provided to them, and who identified themselves as the driver of the SUV. An officer made an Approved Screening Device (ASD) Demand; however, the individual refused to provide a sample.
Zsolt Fazekas (age 50) of Washago, Ontario was arrested and charged with:
·      Failure or refusal to comply with demand
The accused was released and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on a date in July 2025.
The Northumberland OPP would like to remind the public that failing to provide a suitable sample of breath upon an officers demand carries the same consequences as ‘Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs, and ‘Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)’.
