When OPP officers, on regular patrol duties saw a speeding car Saturday morning in Blind River, they did what cops do...they stopped it.

Police say the westbound vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed and when they stopped it the driver was using his deceased brother’s driver’s licence.

The driver was in fact, suspended. 

As a result, a 62-year-old man from Sagamok First Nation was charged with: 

  • Obstruct Peace Officer, 

  • Driving While Under Suspension, and

  • Driver Fail to give Identification,

He is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Blind River on March 2.
