Members of the Northumberland Detachment of the OPP have charged two drivers with impaired operation in unrelated incidents that occurred less than four hours apart in Trent Hills.
On October 14, 2026, at approximately 5:30 p.m., officers responded to a traffic complaint on Lake Road.
After investigating, police determined that the involved individual had been operating a motor vehicle while impaired.
As a result, Anne Lloyd, 69, was arrested and charged with:
Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

The accused is due to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg in November 2026.
Later that evening, shortly after 9:00 p.m., officers were conducting speed enforcement on County Road 35 when they stopped a vehicle for speeding.
During the interaction, officers initiated an impaired driving investigation, which resulted in the driver being arrested.
Tyson Taylor, 29, of Campbellford, has been charged with:
Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
Operation while impaired – alcohol and drugs
Speeding 1 – 49 Km/h over posted limit
