Fredericton police are asking for the public's help to identify the driver of an all-terrain vehicle they say was driving dangerously in the city last month.
Police say they responded to reports of a large, dark-coloured ATV that was driving recklessly through downtown Fredericton on May 11.
The ATV was seen driving through the Tannery, a pedestrian-only area, and travelling the wrong way on one-way streets. Police say the ATV rider ignored traffic laws and drove directly at a police vehicle before swerving away.
'This dangerous behavior posed a significant risk to public safety,' said the Fredericton Police Force in a Facebook post.
The rider was wearing dark clothing and a dark helmet with yellow insignia.
The Fredericton Police Force is asking anyone with information about the incident or who can identify the suspect to call 506-460-2300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.

Sask. man who set fire to homeless woman going back to prison
The Parole Board of Canada has revoked the statutory release of a man who lit a homeless woman on fire in Saskatchewan. Leslie Black was sentenced to 16 years for attempted murder in the 2014 bludgeoning, burning and sexual assault of Marlene Bird in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Bird lost much of her eyesight and had both of her legs amputated after the attack. She died in 2017 at the age of 50 from heart, liver and kidney failure. Black was given statutory release earlier this year, but the board says the 39-year-old violated his conditions by using drugs the morning he was released from prison.

Two paused Toronto red light camera tickets get the green light on appeal
Two Toronto drivers who saw their red light camera tickets put on hold because it took too long to get their cases into court are out of luck because the justice of the peace who handled them initiated the stays himself and didn't give the city a heads-up that he was going to press pause on the charges. Article content The justice of the peace, who is not named in the appeal, stayed cases against Henry Shein Canada and Lisa Lee-Tucker because they exceeded the 18-month window to get provincial court matters in front of a judge. But the cases against both of them were revived after the city successfully appealed the stays to Ontario's Court of Justice, which ordered new trials for both drivers. Article content Article content Article content Article content Rose conceded both cases took too long to get to court, saying the justice of the peace was 'entirely right that the delay in the cases before him engaged (Jordan) concerns on their face.' Article content But Rose had problems with the way both cases were handled. Article content 'It was reversible error for the court to initiate a stay of proceedings on its own motion,' Rose said. Article content 'A trial judge must be careful and reluctant to bring their own motions because of a perceived unfairness to one or the other party …The discretion should only be exercised rarely and then with extreme care, so as not to interfere with the adversarial nature of the trial procedure or prejudice the accused.' Article content Article content Canada and Lee-Tucker's cases 'have a commonality,' which is why the appeals were heard together, Rose said, noting both drivers had someone appear for them at early resolution meetings after requesting them. Article content Article content Red light camera tickets in Toronto are $325. Article content Canada got his at 1:33 p.m. on Aug. 23, 2022, in the intersection of Bloor Street and Ossington Avenue. Lee-Tucker got hers at the intersection of Sheppard Avenue and Leslie Street in September 2022. Article content Fairly early on in his appearance that day, the justice of the peace said, 'I do not find that it's appropriate that these cases proceed. So that's the angle I'm working at.' Article content The justice of the peace pointed out there was no need to wait for a Charter challenge when an 'abusive process' is clear. 'This is not fair play.' Article content When Canada's lawyer appeared at the early resolution hearing by telephone, the justice of the peace noted it was Canada's first time before the court with the charge 'well exceeding the Jordan ceiling.'

York Region school board investigating after inappropriate content sent to students
York Region District School Board (YRDSB) is investigating after 'inappropriate content,' including hateful language, was e-mailed to all students. YRDSB said a Google document was shared with all students' GAPPS accounts and some replied all with messages containing inappropriate content. GAPPS allows students to have access to the board's Google education suite, including Gmail and Docs. A spokesperson for the board said staff became aware of the issue after most schools had dismissed on Tuesday. 'Upon learning of the issue, we took immediate action and are removing access to the document and contacts, and are taking action to export and delete these emails in student GAPPS accounts,' the board said in a letter sent to families on Tuesday. YRDSB said it takes the matter seriously, warning that those involved in the incident could face disciplinary measures. The board added that York Regional Police were notified and are conducting a separate investigation. 'We apologize for any hurt or offence this may have caused. We know the content of the emails may affect students in different ways,' the board said. 'If you feel that your child would benefit from access to support, I encourage you to reach out to your child's school. Staff will work to support you and connect you with the appropriate resources.' Parents are being urged to delete any of the emails if their children still have access to them.
