Ottawa man charged with drugged driving on Highway 401

Whether it’s drugged or drunk, impaired driving carries the same penalty, the OPP warned after charging an Ottawa man Monday night.
The 28-year-old is facing charges of operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by a drug and possession of a small quantity of marijuana after being spotted weaving within his lane and narrowly missing a guardrail on Highway 401. 
OPP officers were on patrol in Leeds and the Thousand Islands Township when they stopped the eastbound vehicle at 9:20 p.m.
