A 45-year-old Cambridge man was charged with operation while impaired, failure or refusal to comply with a demand, resisting a peace officer, failure to comply with an undertaking and failure to stop for police contrary to the Highway Traffic Act.
A 37-year-old man from St. Marys was also charged with two counts of assaulting a peace officer, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon and resisting a peace officer.
