A Kingston woman is facing impaired driving charges after Belleville Police stopped her vehicle just as she was about to enter Highway 401.

The incident occurred on Saturday, August 17, 2024, around 10 p.m., when officers received a report of a car swerving dangerously and nearly hitting a utility pole.

Police quickly located the vehicle and stopped it on the Highway 401 on-ramp. After speaking with the driver, Christine Cattoor, 37, officers used an Approved Screening Device to test for alcohol. Cattoor was then arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol and with having a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit.

These charges have not yet been proven in court. Cattoor was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court in September.
