A Georgetown resident is facing charges after he was caught driving 50 km/h over the limit.
22-year old Brian Lund was pulled over in Dashwood by Huron County OPP.
The officer clocked Lund in at 100 km/hr in a posted 50 zone.
Upon being stopped, the driver reportedly got out of his vehicle and ran behind a building.
After being quickly apprehended, a witness told the officer that Lund had thrown a firearm into nearby bushes.

- Race a Motor Vehicle;
- Operation While Prohibited;
