Windsor’s deputy police chief is facing a stunt driving charge after he allegedly drove more than 110 km/h in a posted 70 km/h zone earlier this year while off duty in Amherstburg.
According to a statement from police on January 7, WPS Deputy Chief of Operations Jason Crowley was off duty in his personal vehicle when he was pulled over for allegedly driving 40 km/h over the speed limit in Amherstburg.
A Windsor police officer who was in the area conducting traffic enforcement said he observed the vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed.
Crowley was released with no further action and subsequently disclosed the incident to Jason Bellaire, Windsor’s chief of police.
Bellaire then directed the WPS Professional Standards Branch to investigate the matter, according to the statement.
As a result of that investigation, Crowley was issued a summons to appear in court in relation to the stunt driving charge.
Police will not be releasing any further information as the matter is now before the courts.
