Halifax Regional Police have charged a man with stunting near Fall River.

On Tuesday, at roughly 3:30 p.m., police caught a driver, outbound on Highway 102 towards Fall River, going 156 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.

Police said a 20-year-old man was ticketed for stunting, a charge that is automatically laid when a vehicle is travelling more than 50 km/h over the speed limit.
