Multiple charges for pair who resisted arrest

On June 11, 2020 at approximately 3 p.m., officers of the Huntsville Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) conducted a traffic stop on Brunel Road. During the stop officers discovered drug related offences. The male passenger of the vehicle also provided police with a false identification which led to his arrest. The male passenger resisted arrest causing minor injuries to officers. While officers were arresting the male, the female driver drove her vehicle at officers before she turned away and fled from the scene.

The vehicle was eventually stopped on Muskoka Road 10 after the female driver attempted to avoid a spike belt and nearly struck another police vehicle. The female driver reversed into the ditch at which point officers blocked in her vehicle and placed her under arrest.
