(DUFFERIN COUNTY) – The Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has charged three local residents following an incident involving a RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) spot check in the Town of Shelburne.

On February 17, 2026, just after 12:00 a.m., Dufferin OPP A Platoon officers were conducting a RIDE spot check in the area of Owen Sound Street in the Town of Shelburne when they observed a black SUV allegedly attempting to evade the checkpoint. Officers located the vehicle moments later. Upon conducting the traffic stop, officers discovered drug paraphernalia, which led to a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act investigation.

Meghan MACDONALD, a 48-year-old female from Shelburne, has been charged with:

Possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine
Possession of unmarked cigarettes
Consuming liquor in an unauthorized place
Additionally, a 47-year-old male from Shelburne and a 49-year-old male from Mono were released at the scene, both receiving numerous Provincial Offences Notices.

The Dufferin OPP reminds motorists to plan ahead if consuming alcohol or drugs. Use a designated driver, taxi, rideshare service, public transit, or arrange to stay overnight. Any amount of alcohol or drugs can impair judgment and reaction time. In a split second, impaired driving can result in life-altering consequences for yourself and others.

Members of the Dufferin OPP remain committed to public safety through proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities. If you suspect someone is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, call 9-1-1.
