Monday OPP briefs

Two Chatham-Kent residents face charges in the wake of weekend arrests by the OPP in Essex County.

The first took place Saturday morning, shortly after midnight. A traffic stop on Manning Road in Lakeshore led to a slew of charges.

Police found drugs in the vehicle and believed the driver was impaired.

As a result, a 52-year-old Chatham man is charged with impaired driving, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Fast forward about 26 hours and police pulled over a vehicle on Wellington Street in Leamington.

A 36-year-old Wheatley man is charged with operating while prohibited, driving a vehicle with no valid permit and failing to have insurance.
