HANOVER – At about 1:40 a.m. on Sept. 2, Hanover Police patrolling a residential neighbourhood spotted an older model black Ford pick-up truck driving in a suspicious manner in the 400 block of 12th Avenue in Hanover.
Police followed the truck for a short distance north on Grey Road 10 and attempted a traffic stop on Bruce Road 22 but when the cruiser’s emergency lights were activated, the truck fled at a high rate of speed down Marl Lake Road and out of sight.
Moments later, police located the truck upside-down on Marl Lake Road with the uninjured driver attempting to flee the scene on foot.
A 39-year-old man from Hanover was arrested without incident and faces numerous Criminal Code and Highway Traffic Act charges including flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, fail to comply with a probation order, operating a vehicle while prohibited, and driving with a suspended licence.
The accused man has been released from custody with conditions and is scheduled to appear in Walkerton Criminal Court in October.
