KAPUSKASING - A driver spinning out in front of a police officer has been charged.
On March 12 around 11 p.m., a James Bay OPP officer on patrol saw two vehicles heading in the same direction stopped at a red light on Government Road in Kapuskasing.
"When the light turned green, one car accelerated aggressively causing its rear tires to spin without control," said police in a new release.
"Police stopped the vehicle a short distance away."
A 30-year-old from Kapuskasing is charged with performing a stunt - accelerating and causing the tires to spin without control.
The accused's licence was suspended for 30 days and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days. They also have a June 24 court date in Kapuskasing.
None of the charges have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
