Opposition Senator Faber in Hot Seat Over Police Confrontation

Former Collet Area Representative Patrick Faber is headed to trial. He’s facing charges of obstruction and aggravated assault against a police officer, charges that stem from an early morning traffic stop back in April. Faber appeared in court today with attorney OJ Elrington, where he received full disclosure in the case, including twenty-three pages and a CD of evidence. The trial is set for September sixteenth. But what exactly happened that night? According to police, it started with a routine checkpoint and ended with a confrontation that’s now landed a former government minister in legal hot water.
