Woman faces charges after lying to police in ATV traffic stop in northern Ont.
A 29-year-old woman from Garden River First Nation is facing criminal and traffic charges after allegedly providing a false name to police during an ATV traffic stop last month.
On June 20 at about 2:21 p.m., an officer from Ontario Provincial Police's Sault Ste. Marie detachment observed an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) travelling at a high speed on Highway 17 in Garden River First Nation. Police noted a rear passenger was not wearing a helmet.
'A traffic stop was conducted, where the driver provided a false name to the officer,' OPP said in a news release.

The accused was arrested and charged with personation with intent to avoid arrest, three counts of driving while under suspension, and failure to comply with an undertaking. She is scheduled to appear in court in Sault Ste. Marie on August 4 to answer the charges.
Additionally, the 32-year-old passenger also from Garden River First Nation was charged with riding without a helmet and permitting an unlicensed person to drive a motor vehicle and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

Men charged in mysterious murder of young Abbotsford, B.C., man
Months after a 19-year-old man was murdered under mysterious circumstances in B.C.'s Lower Mainland, several suspects have been arrested and charged. Authorities have never publicly identified the deceased, but said he was found walking in the Crescent Beach area of Surrey with 'severe injuries' on the morning of Jan. 27. Hours earlier, witnesses reported seeing a man being assaulted in Abbotsford and hauled away in a vehicle. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said the incident does not appear related to the B.C. gang conflict. 'The victim had his whole life ahead of him,' said Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT, in a statement following the young man's death. 'Sadly, his family is now left in grief with many unanswered questions.' On Friday, authorities announced charges against five men. Counts of first-degree murder and forcible confinement have been approved against 21-year-old Ravdeep Gill of Winnipeg, 26-year-old Harmandeep Gill of Brampton, 20-year-old Jaskaran Singh of Surrey and 22-year-old Bipanpreet Singh, also of Surrey. Inderpreet Khosa, a 19-year-old from Abbotsford, has also been charged with forcible confinement.
