The investigation found a female party had been struck by a vehicle, resulting in minor injuries. OPP officers and the OPP Canine Unit conducted a search of the area and arrested the male accused at approximately 11 p.m.
A 30-year-old male from Loyalist Township has been charged under the Criminal Code with:
