A 32-year-old Markdale man faces a charge of failing to comply with a demand after an impaired-driving investigation on Highway 10 in Grey Highlands, Grey Bruce OPP said Monday. The charge has not been proven in court.

The vehicle was reported to be swerving and travelling at a high rate of speed on Highway 10 in the Municipality of Grey Highlands, according to the OPP media release.

Officers found the vehicle in Markdale and began an impaired-driving investigation, police said. During the investigation, police made a lawful demand for the driver to provide a sample into an Approved Screening Device. The driver refused to comply with the demand and was arrested, the release said.

Kevin Zadvorny, 32, of Markdale, is charged under the Criminal Code with failure to comply with a demand.

The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Owen Sound on Dec. 17, police said.

In addition to the criminal charge, the accused received a 90-day driver's licence suspension and a seven-day vehicle impoundment under provincial legislation, according to the release.
