A traffic complaint in Clearview Township has led to a suspected impaired driver and weapons.
Huronia West OPP say just before 7 o’clock on Saturday morning, they were called about a pick up truck swerving all over Highway 26 and driving into oncoming traffic.
An officer located the vehicle as it entered the Town of Wasaga Beach and after it was stopped, the driver was taken into custody for failing Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST).
Police say a search of the vehicle found an expandable baton, a large knife and a machete hidden in different areas.
As a result of the investigation, Jeffrey CLARK, 37 years of age, of Barrie, Ontario, was charged with operation while impaired and two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, both contrary to the Criminal Code.
The accused is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Collingwood on September 22, 2020.
A female passenger in the vehicle was also found to be wanted on an outstanding warrant from the City of Barrie.
