*************************
Barrie Police officers spotted an erratic driver in the Dunlop Street West and Eccles Road area of the City of Barrie at 1:20 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2018. The driver of the vehicle was identified as a  21-year-old Toronto male who's story was not adding up. The other two passengers seemed to have contradicting stories as well and were not forthcoming to police on how the threesome knew each other.

Further investigation revealed the driver was in contravention of court order conditions, including house arrest to an address in Toronto and to be with surety at all times. The male was arrested and charged with two counts of fail to comply with recognizance. He was held at the Barrie Police Service overnight for a bail hearing Wednesday morning in Barrie.
