When the officer attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver accelerated and drove dangerously, swerving around other vehicles and continuing through a construction zone. In the interest of public safety, the officer didn\u2019t pursue the Sentra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the vehicle continued down Hwy. 104, RCMP officers located the vehicle near James River; it again failed to stop and was not pursued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly after, Antigonish County District RCMP received a 911 report of the same Nissan Sentra driving dangerously on Hwy. 104 in Dagger Woods. Officers responded immediately and located the Sentra parked at a nearby business, where the driver was arrested without incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"839\" src=\"https:\/\/nnpress.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FB_IMG_1782482815250-1024x839.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nnpress.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FB_IMG_1782482815250-1024x839.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nnpress.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FB_IMG_1782482815250-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nnpress.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FB_IMG_1782482815250-768x629.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nnpress.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FB_IMG_1782482815250-1536x1259.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nnpress.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/FB_IMG_1782482815250.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of cannabis, prescription pills, cash, and suspected stolen property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driver, a 32-year-old woman from Halifax, will face charges for fleeing from police, dangerously operating a motor vehicle, stunting, and transporting cannabis illegally. She was released and is scheduled to appear in Antigonish Provincial Court at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation, supported by the Antigonish Street Crime Enforcement Unit, is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excessive speed remains a leading cause of serious and fatal collisions. Anyone who witnesses dangerous driving is asked to call police or 911 if it\u2019s safe to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: RCMP Release <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RCMP Northwest Traffic Services has arrested a Halifax woman after dangerous driving incidents in Antigonish County.
