INNISFIL - On Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018, shortly after 8:30 p.m., South Simcoe Police were conducting a R.I.D.E. program near Jans Boulevard and Anna Maria Boulevard, in the Town of Innisfil.
A vehicle approached the spot check and made an immediate u-turn. The driver led the officer in a short pursuit before he was able to pull the vehicle over safely a short distance away.
Police learned while speaking to the male driver that he had not consumed any alcohol but was avoiding the spot check because the car he was driving was never registered, the plates attached were borrowed from his roommate and he didn't have valid insurance on the car.
The 28-year-old from Innisfil had his car towed and impounded and he was charged with a number of Highway Traffic Act offences including careless driving and fail to stop for police. He is to appear in court in March of this year.
