An 18-year-old from Huntsville is facing charges in relation to the dangerous situation that occurred at a gas station in Gravenhurst on March 2.
According to the OPP, at approximately 7 p.m., three people described as older teens or young adults arrived at the gas station. Two were pushing a black vehicle toward the gas pump, and once near the pump, one of them began dispensing fuel into the vehicle.
