Multiple Charges After Driver Fails to Stop for Local Police

Multiple charges have been laid after a driver failed to stop for local police.

Superior East OPP attempted a traffic stop early the morning of December 23rd, but the driver failed to stop and continued westbound on Highway 17, with Marathon OPP attempting to stop the vehicle later, though a cruiser was struck, resulting in minor damage but no injuries.

The vehicle was eventually stopped by members of the Schreiber and Nipigon detachment - who'd deployed a "tire deflation device" - leading to the arrest of a 28-year-old from Stouffville on charges of dangerous operation, flight from peace officer, possession of property obtained by crime over $5000, and mischief over $5000.

They're set to appear in court today.
