A complaint from a member of the public has led to numerous charges being laid against a Port McNicoll man.
Shortly before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, police responded to a complaint about a motorcycle in the Grandview Road area in Port McNicoll. Not long after, an officer saw “a loud motorcycle” southbound on William Street in Midland.
The motorcyclist appeared to be speeding, so the officer followed him “while observing a number of driving infractions” as he travelled east on Highway 12 into Tay Township, Southern Georgian Bay OPP said in a news release. A traffic stop was conducted near Triple Bay Road.
Benjamin Joshua Talbot, 34, has been charged with the following:
- Failure to comply with a release order other than to attend court
- Operation while prohibited under the Criminal Code
- Failure to stop at a red light
- Unnecessary noise
- Driving a motor vehicle with an improper licence
- Improper muffler
- Driving with no plates
- Failure to surrender a permit for a motor vehicle
- Driving while under suspension
- Driving the wrong way on a divided highway
- Operating a motor vehicle without insurance
The accused is being held in custody pending a bail hearing.
