Police have arrested a disqualified driver who allegedly drove at a police officer after failing to stop for police in the early hours of Thursday morning (19 September).
Around 4:00 am, the man was driving a Toyota hatchback when he allegedly failed to stop for police in Gilmore. A short time later, it is alleged the man drove at a police officer before crashing into a street sign and a parked car before fleeing with the car’s lights turned off.
Around 3:30 pm in the afternoon, police saw the Gilmore man driving a damaged Mercedes. They stopped the vehicle and arrested the man.
The 39-year-old will face the ACT Magistrates Court today charged with aggravated dangerous driving, two counts of driving while disqualified, failing to stop a motor vehicle for police and property damage.
