In a separate incident, OPP officers responded to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 416 near Hunt Club Road. It was determined that one of the drivers had been drinking and refused to provide a breath sample.
Both drivers involved in the collision were charged, each received a 90-day driving suspension, and their vehicles were impounded for seven days.
All three individuals arrested are scheduled to appear in court in October.
