LIVERPOOL, N.S – A Queens County man has been charged with stunting after drinking and doing donuts on a helipad in Liverpool early Tuesday morning.

Shortly before 1 a.m., a member of Queens District RCMP found a driver doing donuts on a helipad on Harley Umphrey Drive.

Police say the officer spoke with the 21-year-old male driver and noticed alcohol on his breath. He was then given a roadside screening test which produced a 'warning' reading, resulting in a seven-day suspension.

The driver has been charged with stunting and his vehicle has been towed.
