Drinking before turning yourself in to police didn't turn out to be such a good idea for a Sudbury man over the weekend.

On September 11, at 5 p.m. the Sudbury OPP Detachment had a suspect arrive at the building on Highway 69.

Police were conducting an investigation of the removal of a personal watercraft, utility terrain vehicle, and an all-terrain vehicle from a property on Nepewassi Lake Road, Markstay-Warren.

The incident was reported to the police the day before.

While speaking to the suspect, police determined him to be impaired by alcohol.

As a result of the investigation, Brock Woito, 20, from Sudbury, was arrested and charged with:

  • Operation while impaired - alcohol
  • Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
  • Three counts of taking a motor vehicle without consent

Woito was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice on October 27 in Sudbury.
