UPDATED: Warrant Issued For Route 1 Wrong-Way Driver

An arrest warrant has been issued for a Saint John man who drove the wrong way on Route 1 while evading police.

On September 21st, Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP stopped a suspected suspended driver near Prince of Wales and the driver took off going the wrong way.

27-year-old Calvin Patrick Burns-Smith surrendered to police and was charged with flight from police, dangerous driving and assaulting a peace officer.

Burns-Smith entered guilty pleas to the charges but didn’t show up for his sentencing hearing so an arrest warrant was issued.

He is described as being between five feet five inches and five feet eight inches tall, weighing between 145 pounds and 160 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.
