Updated: Kingston Police investigating apparent car-surfing incident

What was initially thought to be a ‘car surfing’ incident over the weekend actually turned out to be the result of an argument – and led to three drug-related charges for a Kingston woman.

On Friday, Nov. 16, 2018 at approximately 9:40 p.m., the woman and a male acquaintance began arguing and yelling in a parking lot off of Russell Street. With the argument escalating, the male got into a vehicle and began to drive away. The woman reacted by jumping on the hood of the vehicle, Kingston Police said, and, as the male applied the brakes, the woman rolled off of the vehicle onto the ground. The male drove away and was not located, according to a press release from Kingston Police.

When Kingston Police arrived on the scene, the woman had already been assessed by Frontenac Paramedics, and was found to be uninjured. However, in dealing with police, the woman was uncooperative, yelling and becoming aggressive with the officers. The woman was arrested for breach of the peace, and during a search, police found her to be in possession of suspected crystal methamphetamine, hydromorphone pills, and a small quantity of cocaine.

The 26-year-old woman is charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance.
