Cannifton Road chaos
A chaotic scene in the city’s rural ward ended with the arrest of a male on a number of criminal charges, Thursday evening.
Officers were called to an area of Cannifton Road North around 10:30 p.m., just south of River Road after a 911 caller advised a green truck had smashed into a hydro pole, possibly rolled and the driver was attempting to leave the scene.
Police arrived and found a smashed truck and a 15-foot hydro pole laying across the roadway.
Following an investigation, police charged Scott Riemens, 19, with Impaired Driving, More than 80 mgs (having more than the legal limit of alcohol in his blood) and Dangerous Driving.
Riemens was released from custody later in the evening with a November 28, 2024 court date in Belleville to face the charges. As per legislation, Riemens’ licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for a week.
Hydro crews were called to the scene to remove and replace the pole.
There were no injuries reported.
