On Wednesday April 30, 2014 at 9:00 a.m., a guest at the Parkview Motel was packing his belongings into his vehicle prior to checking out. The accused, who was residing in an adjoining room, entered the unoccupied vehicle and sped off in a northbound direction on Woolwich Street.

At 9:08 a.m., the accused attended to gas bar on Woodlawn Road, and re-fueled the vehicle. When the accused attempted to leave, making no attempt to pay for the gas, the attendant left the kiosk and stood in his path. The accused accelerated the vehicle toward the attendant. The attendant jumped backward to avoid being struck and in doing so fell back into a metal door hurting his lower back and the back of his head. The vehicle sped off westbound on Woodlawn Road.

The accused was later observed driving the vehicle at Paisley Road and the Hanlon heading west. Several marked units coordinated a rolling block on the vehicle which was brought to a stop on Wellington Road #32.

A 61 year old male of no fixed address has been charged with theft of a motor vehicle and two counts of breach of probation. He was held in custody for a bail hearing.
