If you don’t have anything nice to say at a traffic stop, maybe don’t say anything at all.
That’s the lesson for a 35-year-old Laurentian Valley man who was pulled over in the same township on Pembroke Street East around 11pm on June 15th after Upper Ottawa Valley OPP received word of a potentially drunk driver in the area.
The driver began to threaten the responding officers, which was enough to lead to an arrest.
The driver now faces six charges:
- Failure or refusal to comply with demand
- Uttering threats to cause bodily harm or death
- Fail to comply with probation
- Failure to comply with release order – two counts
- Driving while under suspension
Their license was suspended for 90 days and their car impounded for seven. The accused was held for a bail hearing and remains in custody with a Pembroke court date on June 23rd.
