Officers located the vehicle and spoke to the driver. During the interaction, officers utilized an approved roadside alcohol screening device on the driver. As a result, the male was transported to the detachment for further testing.

On Sunday, August 24, 2025 at 3:45 a.m., officers stopped a vehicle for a Highway Traffic Act violation. During the interaction, officers suspected that the driver was impaired and utilized an approved roadside alcohol screening device.

Cassandre Cherrat, age 26 of Montreal, has been charged with:
