Woodstock Police Force, New Brunswick
In the early morning on February 22, 2026, members of the Woodstock Police Force conducted a traffic stop on a red Honda Civic, for an impaired driving investigation on Main Street, Woodstock, NB. Officers observed the vehicle squealing its tires and swerving from side to side. The suspect vehicle came to a stop, and a second marked police vehicle attended the location, to assist. Without warning, the suspect vehicle accelerated away, colliding with the front of the second marked police vehicle, as well as an unoccupied parked vehicle, before fleeing the scene. WPF members attempted to stop the vehicle a second time, but the vehicle fled along Highway 105, evading officers.
With the assistance of RCMP members from the Woodstock and Nackawic detachments, the suspect was located and arrested at his residence in York County.
The suspect driver, a 25-year-old male, stands charged with following offences:
• Operation of a motor vehicle while impaired,
• Operation of a motor vehicle while impaired over 80mg,
• Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle,
• Assault with a weapon,
