Suspect Smashed Patrol Car

A twenty-year old Dartmouth man is facing numerous charges after allegedly trying to escape an RCMP traffic checkpoint in Newcombville.

South Shore Traffic Services stopped the man on highway 325 this weekend.

Police say the suspect refused a roadside screening test, became agitated, and attempted to escape arrest by kicking the windows out of a patrol car.

The accused will appear in Bridgewater Provincial Court on Monday.
