On Nov. 10, 2020 shortly before 3 a.m., officers responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision where the car had rolled several times and had come to rest upright in the ditch on Carlyon Line, Severn Township. The male driver was uninjured but the officer had reason to enter into an impaired driving investigation which led to the male's arrest.

On Nov. 11, 2020 just after 4 p.m., a concerned citizen called police to report a vehicle at an Orillia business which was being driven by a suspected impaired driver. The vehicle left the parking lot just prior to officers arriving but was located a distance away at a residence. The male driver was subsequently arrested and, as a result, Jesse Welch, age 35 of Ramara Township, has been charged with:
• Operation while impaired - alcohol, contrary to Section 320.14(1)(a) of the Criminal Code
• Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 Plus), contrary to Section 320.14(1)(b) of the Criminal Code

Later in the evening on Nov. 11, 2020, several concerned citizens called police to report that a vehicle travelling northbound on Highway 400 near Horseshoe Valley Road, Springwater Township, was being driven erratically and that the driver was suspected to be impaired. Officers located and stopped the vehicle and began an impaired driving investigation. The female driver, Story Nemett, age 21 of Magnetawan, Ont., was arrested and charged with:
• Operation while impaired - drugs, contrary to Section 320.14(1)(a) of the Criminal Code
