NRP say he tried to bait them into pursuit in a Fort Erie

A 20-year old Fort Erie man is facing charges after a motorcycle rider was seen driving dangerously in Fort Erie.

Police were called on the evening of April 7th, to find a motorcycle driver performing "wheelies" in the Roxborough Avenue area.

Police add he also tried to bait them into pursuit, which they did not.

Police learned who they were looking for, and arrested the suspect on Friday.

The bike has been impounded for 14 days, and the driver's licence suspended for 30 days.
