London man facing multiple charges

LONDON, ON (May 29, 2025) – A London man is facing charges after fleeing from police and being arrested in the downtown core early yesterday morning.

On Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at approximately 4:20 a.m., a citizen observed a man asleep at the wheel of a vehicle in the area of Patricia and Steele streets. Police were notified and attended the area.

Officers located the vehicle still stopped at the intersection and approached the car. The male driver was sleeping in the driver seat, and when police awoke him, he put the vehicle in drive and fled northbound from the officers, stopping the car a short distance away.

• Impaired operation of a conveyance;
• Dangerous operation;
• Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000;
