QUESNEL — A Quesnel man is facing multiple charges following an incident in the Gold Pan City Wednesday.

North District RCMP say it all started when police received a report of an unwanted man at a business on Malcolm Drive.

The employee recognized 33 -year-old Nathan Doucette and was aware that he was under a court order not to be in this type of establishment and was asked to leave.

Doucette left before police arrived in a vehicle that police discovered was taken without the owner’s consent in Kamloops a few days prior.

A short time later police located the vehicle on Edkins Road and in attempt to escape from police, Doucette collided with a police cruiser then fled the area on foot.
