In the early hours of October 11, 2025, a traffic complaint in Adelaide Metcalfe led to the arrest of a 28-year-old woman on multiple impaired driving charges. The incident unfolded just before midnight when the Middlesex County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received reports of a possible impaired driver on Calvert Drive.

Upon locating the vehicle, OPP officers initiated a traffic stop. The driver, identified as Jerrica Gallinger from London, was subsequently arrested at the scene. Following her arrest, she was transported to the Middlesex OPP detachment for processing.

Gallinger now faces serious charges under the Criminal Code, including:

• Operation while impaired - Alcohol

• Operation while impaired - blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

• Dangerous Operation

This incident highlights the ongoing issue of impaired driving on Ontario roads, a concern that has been raised repeatedly by law enforcement. The OPP reminds the public of the importance of reporting any suspicious behaviour or suspected impaired drivers to authorities immediately to ensure the safety of all road users.

Gallinger has since been released from police custody and is scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice on November 25, 2025, to respond to the charges against her.

As the OPP continues its efforts to combat impaired driving, community members are encouraged to remain vigilant and proactive in reporting any potential dangers on the road. The importance of responsible driving cannot be overstated, especially as the holiday season approaches, a time when incidents of impaired driving typically increase.
