On Saturday, June 11, at 2:00 p.m., a Bracebridge resident called the OPP to report a vehicle drove into their yard and hit two parked cars.

  • Dangerous operation
  • Obstructing a peace officer
  • Failing to comply with a probation order

The accused remains in custody, and will have a future bail hearing in court.
