Police stopped the vehicle a short distance away. As a result, an 18-year-old from Kapuskasing has been charged with:
- Drive motor vehicle – perform stunt – intentionally spinning the vehicle or causing it to circle without maintaining control
The accused’s driver’s licence has been suspended for 30 days, and the vehicle has been impounded for 14 days. The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice on June 24, 2025, in Kapuskasing.
