In an effort to raise awareness and deter impaired driving by alcohol or drugs, the Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) reports the names of individuals charged with alleged criminal impaired driving offences in the region.

In addition to being criminally charged, these individuals are also subject to a 90-day Administrative Driver’s Licence Suspension issued by the Ministry of Transportation. They are prohibited from operating a motor vehicle on any roadway. Members of the public are encouraged to contact the NRPS Traffic Safety Hotline or Crime Stoppers to report individuals who may be driving in contravention of their suspension.

The following individuals have been criminally charged with impaired driving by alcohol or drugs, driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 80 milligrams or more of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, or refusing to provide a breath or blood sample:

  • Michael V. Toovey, 40, St. Catharines
  • Rondel J. Fonrose, 37, Hamilton
  • Janae K. Decou, 33, Niagara Falls
  • Kristian M. Nicholson, 24, St. Catharines

The Niagara Regional Police Service remains committed to reducing impaired driving offences through education and enforcement initiatives such as R.I.D.E. Impaired driving continues to be the leading cause of criminal deaths in Canada, affecting thousands of lives each year.
