(LUCAN-BIDDULPH, ON) – On February 23, 2018, at approximately 10:00 p.m., members of the Middlesex County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were asked by a neighbouring police service to locate a male resident of Stonehouse Line.

An OPP officer responding to the assistance call was stationary in the vicinity of the residence. To the officer’s surprise, the male in question parked behind the police cruiser and a reversed traffic stop was initiated. The driver was inquisitive as to what the police was doing in the area.
