One woman is facing impaired driving charges following a traffic stop in Fort Frances.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say officers, with assistance of Treaty Three Police Service, responded to a report of a suspected impaired driver on May 9. They were able to locate the vehicle shortly afterward, and officers conducted a traffic stop.

Following an investigation, police determined the driver was impaired. Officers also found the individual was legally not allowed to drive a motor vehicle, resulting in additional charges.
