A man from Mississauga is facing a dozen charges, including stunt driving, following a late-night traffic stop on Monday in a small northern Ontario town.

According to East Algoma OPP, a vehicle was pulled over for speeding on Highway 17 in Blind River—approximately 160 kilometres west of Sudbury—around 11 p.m. The officer, who was on routine patrol, spotted the vehicle traveling at high speed.

Police say that during the stop, they discovered the driver had an outstanding arrest warrant, was prohibited from driving, and had multiple licence suspensions. Additionally, cannabis was found easily accessible in the vehicle.

The car was towed and impounded, and the driver was taken into custody.

A 36-year-old man from Mississauga is now facing the following charges:

Stunt driving (excessive speed)

Two counts of operation while prohibited under the Criminal Code

Two counts of driving while under suspension

Driving with a licence from another jurisdiction while suspended in Ontario

Operating a vehicle without insurance

Operating an unsafe vehicle

Failing to surrender a vehicle permit

Using unauthorized licence plates

Two counts of driving with cannabis readily available

The accused is scheduled to appear in court in Elliot Lake on June 5.
