A 66-year-old school bus driver is facing impaired charges.
Shortly after 8:30 am on Nov. 30, Huntsville OPP officers were dispatched to the parking lot of the Huntsville High School after they received a complaint from a concerned citizen that a school bus driver was impaired.
Officers located the driver and while speaking to him detected an odour of cannabis along with “other signs of impairment”.
A Standardized Field Sobriety Test was then conducted, and the driver was transported to Huntsville detachment for further testing, including a Drug Recognition Expert Evaluation.
