A Guelph resident is facing charges after fleeing from police.
Early Sunday afternoon members of the Dryden Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police responded to a suspicious person incident on McGogy Road in the Township of Wainwright.
Officers located the individual and attempted to make contact; however, the individual fled in a passenger motor vehicle.
Officers followed the driver but disengaged after being advised of a single motor vehicle collision on Hoey Road where the driver had fled the scene.
Upon arrival, officers were able to confirm that this was the same motor vehicle involved in the suspicious person incident.
A short time later, officers located the individual and subsequently placed them under arrest.
As a result, a 27-years-old Guelph resident has been arrested and charged with:
- Flight from Peace Officer
- Dangerous Operation
- Driving While Under Suspension
- Operate Motor Vehicle Without Insurance
- Fail to Report Accident
- Fail to Remain
- Use Plate not Authorized for Vehicle
The accused has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear before the court in Kenora on February 15.
