DAWSON CREEK — A 32-year-old man is facing charges in connection with a stolen vehicle investigation in Dawson Creek.

North District RCMP Cpl. Madonna Saunderson says police arrested the suspect on Jan.26.

She says Tyler Calliou has been charged with possession of stolen property, pointing a firearm, flight from police, assaulting a peace officer causing bodily harm and driving while prohibited.

Saunderson says the charges stem from a stolen vehicle investigation initiated the same day.

“On Sunday January 26, a suspect (Calliou) believed to be responsible for multiple property crime related offenses was observed in Dawson Creek in a stolen truck,” she says.

“He was seen again later in the day occupying a second stolen truck. Dawson Creek RCMP attempted to stop the vehicle however it fled from police.”

Saunderson says RCMP successfully deployed a spike belt though the suspect intentionally struck multiple police vehicles before the stolen vehicle was stopped completely.

“As officers attempted to make the arrest, the suspect displayed a shotgun which he then proceeded to load and point at the officers. A police vehicle struck the stolen vehicle which knocked the suspect off balance, allowing officers to safely effect his arrest. No shots were fired.”

She says one officer was injured during the incident and taken to hospital for treatment.

Saunderson says Calliou remains in custody and will appear in court on Feb.18.
