A 47-year-old man from Bacon Ridge is facing a slew of charges after he was arrested over the weekend.
On Saturday at about 10:00 a.m., officers from the Ste. Rose Detachment responded to a report of a possible impaired driver on Highway 5 near Ste. Rose who was stuck in a ditch. Before officers arrived, the vehicle was able to get out of the ditch and continued driving. Officers learned that the vehicle was heading to the Ebb and Flow First Nation and while officers located the vehicle, the suspect did not stop and the officer did not pursue.
Shortly later, the vehicle was located in a driveway in Bacon Ridge. When officers arrived, the man exited the home and pointed a handgun at the officer before going back inside. He was then arrested without incident and the weapon was an air pistol.
Michael Houle is charged with; Pointing a Firearm, Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose, Operate a Conveyance while Over 80mg%, Impaired Operation of a Conveyance, Flight from Police, Dangerous Operation of a Vehicle, Resist Arrest, Obstruct Police Officer, and Fail to Comply with an Undertaking.
