Stunt Driving Charge Laid

A Fort Frances High School student had an experience to talk about during their last day of a co-op education program with the Fort Frances OPP.

While out doing radar patrol with an officer Friday, the duo clocked a vehicle doing 156-kilometres an hour in a 90 zone through Halkirk township, east of Fort Frances.

When the vehicle was stopped, the officer found an unknown quantity of marijuana and Oxycontin.

Along with being faced with drug possession and speeding charges, the 23-year-old woman from Seine River First Nation had her vehicle and driver's license seized for Stunt Driving.
