A motorist is facing charges after seemingly going out his way to taunt police officers in Whitby.

According to a social media post from the DRPS, an officer at Central West Division noticed a red Cadillac driving in circles in the police parking lot.

The officer, who was on foot, reportedly spoke to the driver and asked him to stop the vehicle.

“The driver did not comply and continued to drive slowly in and around the parked vehicles while flashing his headlights. He was eventually boxed in and arrested,” the post reads.

The driver, whose name has not been released, has been charged with impaired operation.
