A 49-year-old man is facing several charges, including the dangerous operation of a vehicle, after revving his car’s engine outside Winnipeg police headquarters.

According to a news release, the incident happened around 1:10 a.m. Saturday morning. Police said a “suspicious” Chrysler 300 was on Garry Street, when the driver started revving the engine “obnoxiously.”

When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.

Multiple police units, including the Tactical Support Team and the Canine Unit helped stop the vehicle near St. Michael Road and Pulberry Street.

I thought cops stopped giving tickets for any traffic violations

The driver was arrested and officers discovered he had a quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.

Oooohhhhh.

It reads like the guy intentionally got one star so he could see if he could lose the cops??

Whatever, Winnipeg stuff.

The clickbait is strong with this one.

Mopar or no car. Title is total clickbait but glad he got arrested for speeding and running red lights.

A wise man once told me: One crime at a time.

ITT: people only reading the misleading headline

Asshole was arrested for reckless driving, and might have gotten away with it if he hadn't goaded the cops by waking them up with his micropenis replacement.

The editor really deserves a good chunk of the blame for that obviously misleading headline.

Absolutely. They knew what they were doing.

And it worked just as they intended.
