On November 1, 2024, at approximately 12:30 a.m., the James Bay Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was conducting traffic patrol in the town of Cochrane, when an officer observed a vehicle travelling at 105 km/hr in a posted 60 km/hr zone on Concession Road 2&3.
The vehicle was stopped in a commercial parking lot on Western Avenue. It was determined that the driver was under the influence of alcohol, and the officer then made a breath demand into an Approved Screening Device (ASD) of which the driver failed to comply.
As a result of the investigation, Nathon HOOKIMAWILLELLENE, 39 years of age of Cochrane, was charged with:
Failure or refusal to comply with demand
Drive motor vehicle perform stunt
The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice on December 10, 2024, in Cochrane. The accused was also issued a 90-day Administrative Drivers Licence Suspension (ADLS), and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days. A refusal charge carries with it the same penalties as impaired driving, which if convicted, may include fines, imprisonment, and a further licence suspension of at least one year.
The OPP would like to remind the public that if you see a possible impaired driver on our roadways, waterways, or trails, please Make the Call, and dial 9-1-1.
