Greater Sudbury Police say an incident in the city last week serves as a reminder about how helpful cellphones are in reporting crime.
A concerned motorist used a cellphone to alert police to an erratic driver in the Ontario Street area.
A minivan was traveling very dangerously at high speeds and failing to stop at designated intersections. Officers quickly converged on the area in time to see the suspect vehicle going through a red light. When stopped the driver fled the scene but was quickly apprehended.
A 39-year-old Ontario Street man was charged with impaired and dangerous driving, resisting arrest and assaulting police. He?s scheduled to appear in court Aug. 21.
A 37-year-old woman from the same address was charged with assault and obstructing police. She is also scheduled to appear in court Aug. 21.
