A two-vehicle crash has landed a Ridgetown man with a slew of charges.
Emergency crews responded to McNaughton Avenue in Wallaceburg just after 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon and say a speeding southbound vehicle collided with another vehicle as it was pulling out of a parking lot, leaving both with extensive damage.
A man jumped out of the suspect vehicle and tried to flee, but was detained by several bystanders.
Officers arrived and found the accused was carrying suspected cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. He also possessed a homemade conducted energy weapon.
The 33-year-old is facing charges of dangerous driving, failing to stop after a collision, driving without a license, driving a motor vehicle not equipped with an ignition interlock device, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, weapons dangerous, and five counts of possessing a weapon contrary to a prohibition order.
He was taken to police headquarters and held for a bail hearing.
