NIPIGON, Ont. — Provincial police say a teen is facing charges after allegedly fleeing from officers on Highway 11/17 west of Nipigon, Ont.
They say officers responding to a report of a suspected impaired driver on Tuesday evening pulled over a black SUV in Red Rock Township.
Investigators say the driver appeared to be confused regarding his whereabouts and drove off.
The vehicle was stopped with a spike belt and police allege the driver refused to unlock the door but was arrested after the window was broken and a conducted electrical weapon was deployed.
A 19-year-old Stouffville, Ont., man is charged with obstructing a peace officer, flight while pursued by a peace officer and assaulting a peace officer.
He is scheduled to appear in court in Nipigon on Dec. 5.
