A 16-year-old boy is facing charges after a driver fled police at a checkstop in Blackville.
Last week, RCMP were trying to stop a vehicle on Route 8, but the driver struck a cruiser and threatened to hit an officer; the driver then left the scene.
The vehicle ended up in a ditch and the driver was arrested.
The teen is facing several charges including assaulting a police officer with a weapon, and flight from police.
He is scheduled to return to court on Jan. 18.
