Total damage has been estimated at $1,500.

From ditch dodging to impaired

Just before 6 a.m. this morning, an off-duty officer observed a possible impaired driver on Queens Line.

The vehicle almost rolled into the ditch so the officer stopped to check on the well-being of the driver.

Through investigation, police believed the man was driving while under the influence and he was arrested. The man was transported to police headquarters where a Drug Recognition Expert conducted an evaluation. As a result, the DRE officer believed the man was impaired by a drug.

A 27-year-old Blenheim man has been charged with impaired driving and driving while under suspension. He was also arrested on two outstanding warrants. He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.

Lawn tractor taken

Sometime over the past couple days, someone forced his or her way into a shed on Tenth Line in Raleigh Township.

Once inside, the suspect(s) stole a yellow and white Cub Cadet lawn tractor, valued at approximately $1,000.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Mark Smith at marksm@chatham-kent.ca or 519-436-6600 ext. 87162. Anonymous callers may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) and may be eligible for a cash reward.
