At roughly 8:30 p.m., officers were reported an incident that occurred before 8 p.m. at The Parkway and Hwy 115 exit.  An aggressively driven vehicle rear-ended another.

When the parties stopped to exchange information, the 17-year-old driver of the vehicle that was rear-ended was struck several times with a bat by the other driver. The suspect and the victim then left the area, following each other for a bit before the victim stopped to call the police. 

The 46-year-old was charged with:

  • Assault with A Weapon

  • Careless Driving (Highway Traffic Act)

  • Fail to Report an Accident (Highway Traffic Act)

The accused was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 1.
