QUESNEL — A man is facing multiple charges following an incident near 10 Mile Lake, just north of Quesnel, Thursday afternoon (Sept.25).

Quesnel RCMP attended an address in the area in response to a suspected impaired driver who had made threats of harm to another man just before 2 p.m.

“When police attempted a traffic stop to arrest the male, he used his vehicle to ram several police cruisers, which resulted in one officer sustaining minor injuries,” says Cpl. Robert Belanger.

“Two police cruisers were also damaged during the incident. The male then fled and abandoned his vehicle on a rural property nearby. With the assistance of RCMP police resources from Prince George, which included Police Dog Services, the Emergency Response Team, and the RCMP Air Unit, the male was brought into custody.”

The male suspect is being held for a bail hearing and the following charges are being recommended to Crown Counsel: Assault of a police officer with a weapon, obstruction, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, driving while prohibited, impaired driving, and uttering threats.”
