Police continue to be on the look out for impaired drivers.

Two drivers were charged in Huron County earlier this month.

One 30-year old from Mississauga was charged during a RIDE check in Dashwood. And a 32-year old from South Huron was charged after a complaint about a vehicle being operated in an erratic manner in Crediton.

A Bruce County man now faces charges after reports of a suspicious person at a property in Carrick Township earlier this month.

Police were called to a property on June 2 just after 11 p.m. and when officers arrived on scene they were confronted by an individual allegedly holding a weapon and who refused to cooperate with police.

Members of the OPP West Region Emergency Response Team then responded and took the accused into custody without incident.

A 21-year-old Carrick Township man faces multiple charges including:

Assault a peace officer with a weapon Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose Attempt to commit murder Resist a peace officer Flight from police 4 counts of Drive while Prohibited Mischief over $5,000 Fail to comply with probation

An OPP cruiser was damaged, but there were no injuries reported at the scene.

The accused will be appearing before the Ontario Court of Justice in Walkerton to answer to the charges which have yet to be proven in court.
