G2 driver arrested for impaired

 

(Bracebridge, On) – In the early morning hours of May 7, 2008, Bracebridge OPP officers observed a white Mazda car weaving through various parking lots along Muskoka Road 118.  The same vehicle was then observed taking a very wide turn to negotiate an intersection.  The vehicle was stopped on Manitoba Street in order to speak with the driver.

Mr. KUTCY was released that evening with a future court date to face charges of Impaired Driving, Over 80mg and G2 driver with blood alcohol level above zero.

Former BMLSS provides a life lesson for 3 Bracebridge teens

 

(Bracebridge, On) – The building formerly known as BMLSS on McMurray street in Bracebridge apparently is still providing local teens with life lessons.  In this case, truancy at the school was not the issue but in fact, just the opposite.  Following a 3am visit on May 10, 2008, break and enter charges will be the lesson of choice for the co-accused.

 

Bracebridge OPP members were dispatched to a series of alarms at the former high school and upon arrival, 3 teens were observed moving throughout the building in a game of cat and mouse.  When a key holder arrived and allowed police into the building, the game quickly ended.

 

Charged with Break and Enter are the following Bracebridge residents, Marcel Bissonette (18 years), Derek Hills (19 years) and another 17 year old male that cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA).  

 

All 3 co-accused were released with future court dates.

High Miler charged for 120km/h over posted limit

 

(Bracebridge, On) – On May 1, 2008, Bracebridge OPP officers were dispatched to assist a plain clothes OPP officer from another durisdiction traveling in an unmarked police car.  Information received by uniformed members was that a male was stopped for operating a car in a very dangerous manner including high rates of speed.

 

The accused, Ryan Binder (19 years) of Gravenhurst is alleged to have passed several cars including the unmarked police car at very high rates of speed and on curves in the roadway, which forced other cars towards the shoulder.  The unmarked police vehicle attempted to stop the suspect vehicle as it reached speeds of 180km/h in a posted 60km/h zone along Hwy 118 East near Vankoughnet.

 

Mr. Binder was eventually stopped and identified.  Upon inspection of his vehicle, it was found to be unsafe with bald tires.  The vehicle was impounded for seven days under the new racing legislation and Binder is charged with operating an unsafe vehicle, obstructing police, dangerous driving and failing to provide a driver’s licence.

OPP is Hiring Cadets

 

(Bracebridge, On) – The Cadet program within the OPP started in 1963 with the intent of introducing young applicants to a career in policing.  Since the program inception, a Cadet’s roles and responsibilities have grown to incorporate front line policing skills of assisting officers with Criminal and Traffic investigations, collection of data, assisting with the security of property and evidence and Community Relations Events.    

 

The Ontario Provincial Police has recently expanded the current hiring process to include Cadets.  Successful applicants will be deployed to Detachments throughout the Province and will work directly with officers and Detachment administrators in a support capacity.  The experience would be tremendous for anyone with an interest in a law enforcement career.

 

Interested candidates are encouraged to review the hiring information and necessary documents that are available on the OPP website www.opp.ca.  Applicants need to submit a covering letter along with all of the documents to OPP General Headquarters in Orillia at their earliest opportunity.
