What started as a fail to stop for a red light escalated pretty quickly.
According to the Caledon detachment of the OPP, on Jan. 3 at 7:38 a.m., an officer saw a driver in a red 2017 Ford Explorer fail to stop for a red light at Hurontario St. and Mayfield Rd.
Upon conducting the traffic stop, the 55-year-old driver — who had previously been disqualified from driving — allegedly identified himself to police as a 26-year-old male with a valid driver’s license.
