Abbotsford, B.C., police say an 18-year-old man has been charged with assault and had his parents’ vehicle impounded after allegedly spitting in two officers’ faces.
The incident began shortly after 11 p.m. on Monday, while police were conducting patrols along South Fraser Way near Clearbrook Road.
In a media release, police said officers spotted a vehicle doing 90 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.
They then watched the driver perform several dangerous maneuvers including passing on a double solid line and fail to stop at a controlled intersection, before speeding up to 105 km/h, according to police.
