Impaired by Drug

Reports of a vehicle driving slowly on the 401, drifting over the centre lane, and sleeping at the wheel led to the arrest of Steven Heayn after a citizen called 911. The caller followed  Heayn into Port Hope, ON giving updates to his location. Officers had to avoid running into Heayn on Cavan Street as he was in the middle of the road. Despite lights being activated Heayn continued driving into a nearby parking lot.  Heayn was arrested around 7:00 pm on December 7, 2020. Heayn was charged with operation while impaired -alcohol and drugs, adult fail to comply with probation order, and operation while prohibited x3.  Heayn, who is born in 1977 from Port Hope Ontario, was held in custody for a bail hearing pending December 8, 2020.
