Police say the fisheries officer wasn't injured, however the driver has been charged with assault with a weapon.

Investigators say the fisheries officer was attempting to conduct an inspection at Eel Pond, just off the highway, when a man driving an Acura collided with a uniformed fishery officer who was instructing the driver to stop.

The driver was arrested at the scene by RCMP officers, and investigators say that during a search of the vehicle they seized an extendable baton and drug paraphernalia.

The man was later released and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court on Aug. 20.

A second man who was present at the time was arrested by fisheries officers in relation to a Fisheries Act investigation and later released.
