Police in Halifax hit the links Tuesday night to make an arrest, after a car chase ended on the fairway of a golf course.

Halifax Regional Police say officers tried to stop a car around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday because it was moving too quickly for the weather conditions. Snow was still falling, after Halifax received nearly 20 centimetres throughout the day.

The car stopped mid-span on the Macdonald Bridge, police say. Officers recognized the driver as a person wanted on a warrant, but he allegedly refused to exit the car and drove off.

Police say the driver sped across the bridge, over the speed bump, through the tolls and up Nantucket Avenue into a residential neighbourhood. The car came to stop on a fairway of the Brightwood Golf and Country Club, they say.

The driver and four other occupants fled the vehicle onto the golf course. Police caught up with the group a short time later.

Police arrested a man from Musquodoboit without incident. He was wanted on a parole suspension warrant for being unlawfully at large.

Halifax police charged him with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police and possessing hydromorphone.
