Suspect Charged In Death Of Palmerston Man Also Charged In Separate Traffic Stop

A man charged in relation to a fatal collision near Arthur earlier this month was also stopped by officers and charged with impaired driving in June.

Police observed a motorist in a ditch on June 14 near the town of Clifford, and allege he was impaired by drugs. He was allegedly also driving without valid insurance.

Ethan Robert Noble, 21, faces two charges as a result of this stop.

Almost a month later on July 11, a crash occurred near the intersection of Concession 16 & Sideroad 15 in Mapleton that claimed the life of 43-year-old Darren More of Palmerston. Noble faces a total of nine charges in relation to this incident.

Constable Josh Cunningham says the delay in releasing information to media regarding the June incident was due to a "medical privacy issue", as well as acquiring a warrant to seize bodily fluids.
