A disqualified driver who led Greater Sudbury Police on a high-speed chase Monday morning faces numerous charges, including impaired driving and dangerous driving.
In the early morning hours Monday, officers were on routine patrol in Chelmsford.
Around 1:30 am, attempts were made to stop a vehicle being operated by a lone male on Charlotte Street, when the suspect took off, eluding police and traveling at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle attempted to negotiate a turn on Main Street, but lost control and drove over a lawn in the area, causing minimal damage to the lawn.
The vehicle eventually stopped at a residence in Chelmsford after being followed by police less than a kilometre away.
John Cory O'Reilly, 35, of Chelmsford, now faces numerous charge as a result of this incident.
He's been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, criminal flight, impaired driving, failing to provide a breath sample, resisting arrest, two counts of driving while disqualified, breach of court orders, possession of a controlled substance, failing to stop for police, operating without insurance or a validation sticker and not having a registered licence plate.
