A 34-year-old Barrie man has been charged with impaired driving after he was found passed out behind the wheel in a Midland parking lot early Thursday morning, OPP say.

Following an investigation, Trevor Dupre was charged with two counts of operation of a motor vehicle while impaired, officers say.

The accused’s vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days, and his licence was suspended for 90 days, police add.

Dupre was released from police custody on a recognizance to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Midland on Sept. 5, OPP say.
