A 52-year-old American man who police said didn’t realize he was in Canada has been charged with impaired driving by the Renfrew OPP detachment.
On Oct. 17 at about 5 a.m., the Renfrew OPP received calls about a truck being stuck in a Cobden drive-thru. It had flat tires and a Vermont licence plate.
When officers arrived, they located the driver and learned that the vehicle had failed to stop at the border and that there were grounds for the driver’s arrest.
“The driver didn’t know where they were, and still believed they were in the United States,” police said in a news release Monday.
Roger Church of Milton, Vt., has been charged with operation while impaired — alcohol and drugs — and operation while impaired — blood alcohol concentration (80 plus).
He was held for a bail hearing.
