(WASAGA BEACH, ON) – Members of the Central Region Snow Vehicle, All-Terrain Vehicle, Vessel Enforcement and Education (SAVE) Team of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting joint patrols with a Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) Conservation Officer in Simcoe County. During the patrol, a routine stop led to a driver being charged under the Criminal Code of Canada.

On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, an OPP SAVE Team member was conducting joint patrols with an MNR and Forestry Conservation Officer in Simcoe County. The patrol focused on enforcement related to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act (FWCA), Off-Road Vehicles Act, and checking hunters for firearm safety.



During these routine patrols, officers stopped a vehicle under the authority of the FWCA. During the interaction, an odour of alcohol was detected.

As a result of the investigation, Liam WANNAMAKER, 24 of Wasaga Beach, was charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with:

• Failure or Refusal to Comply with Demand

The accused was also served with a 90-day automatic driver’s licence suspension and a seven-day vehicle impoundment notice.

Officers want to remind everyone that this offence carries the same penalties as impaired driving, including a criminal record, driver’s licence suspension, a minimum $2,000 fine, and possible jail time. Even if you haven’t consumed alcohol or drugs, refusing a test is treated just as seriously. Cooperating with police helps keep our roads safe for everyone.

Impaired driving remains a serious threat to community safety. Officers continue to work in partnership with other agencies to ensure compliance with provincial and federal laws. If you suspect someone is driving impaired, call 9-1-1 immediately. Your call could save a life.
