The accused faces charges of impaired driving, operation while prohibited under the Criminal Code, driving while under suspension, failing to surrender a permit for the motor vehicle, driving a motor vehicle without a currently validated permit, and failing to surrender an insurance card.
He is scheduled to appear in Collingwood court at a later date to answer to the charges.
