Guelph –
A 24-year-old Arthur man faces charges after a case of parking lot rage at the height of the holiday shopping season.
Guelph police issued a press release saying it happened shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Police said the man was driving a van through the Stone Road Mall parking lot when he approached behind a stopped delivery truck.
The van reportedly “sped up to speed, passed the delivery truck and missed two pedestrians.”
According to the statement, mall personnel saw this and followed the van in an attempt to speak to the driver.
However, the driver allegedly “threatened to kill the employees before driving his truck towards them, diverting them at the last minute.”
Officers arrived and found the truck in another nearby parking lot.
Investigators said the driver yelled at officers, refused to get out of his truck, but was eventually pulled away and arrested.
Arthur’s man has been charged with dangerous driving and making threats.
