A 52-year-old woman suffered minor injuries after having left the road and striking a telephone pole on Route 209 in St. Chrysostome shortly after 10 p.m. on June 18.
According to the Haut-Saint-Laurent MRC Surete du Quebec, alcohol would not be the cause of the accident. The Havelock resident apparently lost control of her vehicle after falling asleep at the wheel. The woman was transported to Anna Laberge Hospital in Chateauguay to receive first aid.
Injured after leaving the road
Speed and fatigue could be at the origin of a departure from the road on range St. Joseph at St. Chrysostome on the night of June 18.
After having lost control of his vehicle the 17-year-old youth struck the balcony of a residence and ended his ride by striking a vehicle parked in proximity to the property.
The St. Chrysostome resident suffered minor injuries and was transported to Anna Laberge Hospital in Chateauguay to be treated there.
A beer in passenger’s hands
On June 21 in Havelock, SQ patrollers intercepted a vehicle, not because of the driver, but because of the passenger who was holding an open beer bottle in his hands.
The latter, who did not have any identification on him, gave a false name to police but they quickly discovered the subterfuge. The 46-year-old passenger was shortly thereafter put under arrest for posing as someone else. The SQ agents then discovered that the individual was also in possession of a small quantity of cannabis.
Shortly afterwards, the resident of St. Chrysostome explained that he had assumed the identity of his brother thinking he was being sought by area police, which turned out not to be the case. The man was released and was issued a summons. He will appear in Valleyfield court where he will be charged with assuming someone else’s identity, possession of cannabis and interfering with the work of a peace officer.
Forbidden to drive

The 28-year-old resident of the town is known in the police milieu. He appeared in court via telephone under charges of failure to conform to a promise during a prohibition (breaking a condition) and driving despite being forbidden to do so.
Attempted theft
