Two drivers found asleep behind the wheel charged with impaired: OPP
Two drivers face impaired charges after officers say they found each asleep behind the wheel.
Early Friday morning, officers responded to calls about a vehicle in the intersection of Burke and Robert streets in Penetanguishene that hadn't moved for a "significant length of time."
The officers woke the lone occupant and launched an investigation after speaking with the 47-year-old Midland man.
They allegedly found a large quantity of cash, cocaine, and fentanyl.
The accused faces several charges, including possessing property obtained by crime over $5,000, having control of a vehicle with cannabis readily available, and drug trafficking offences.
Later that night, police say officers received a report about a possible impaired driver slumped over the steering wheel of a stopped vehicle along the shoulder of South Bay Road in Georgian Bay Township.
The officers woke the man up and charged him with impaired driving offences, police say.
The 60-year-old man from Georgian Bay Township was released from custody with a recognizance to appear in court later this month.
Both drivers face a 90-day driver's licence suspension and seven-day vehicle impoundment.
