A Wallaceburg man face numerous charges after an incident with a dirt bike on Monday.
Chatham-Kent Police Service officials say yesterday at approximately 2:30 p.m. an officer was on general patrol in the area of Earl Street at Murray Street when he saw a dirt bike travelling eastbound through a field.
The officer continued to observe the vehicle travel onto Murray Street and then onto Queen Street where it eventually pulled into a driveway.
The officer caught up to the vehicle as it was pulling into this driveway and initiated a traffic stop.
When the officer asked to see the man’s driver’s license, along with the ownership and insurance for the dirt bike, the man became argumentative and repeatedly made attempts to walk away from the officer without providing any proper identification for himself or the vehicle.
When the man opened up the door to enter his house, the officer arrested him for failing to provide the required identification.
Through investigation it was learned that the man was violating a few regulations under the Highway Traffic Act and the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.
The 24-year-old Wallaceburg man was arrested and charged with driving while under suspension, failing to identify self, drive motor vehicle – no permit, drive motor vehicle – no plates and failing to surrender insurance card.
He was released from custody and required to attend court on April 26, 2017.
