The accused was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, escape from lawful custody, assault of a peace officer, and Highway Traffic Act violations.
The Crown alleged the defendant drove his motorcycle towards a police cruiser at high speed before veering off, then assaulted an officer and attempted to escape.
The court found that the defendant's u-turn to avoid construction was reasonable, his speed was minimally above the limit for only three seconds, and the officer lacked reasonable and probable grounds for arrest.
All charges were dismissed.
