A man who previously drove into oncoming traffic while fleeing police has now fled B.C. to avoid a trial in Penticton.
Nicholas James Desrochers, born in 1992, was scheduled to have his trial on March 28, for seven charges of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking and one charge of driving while disqualified.
Instead, at the pre-trial conference on March 20, it was revealed that he had left the province.
