A 46 year old Ontario man is facing a number of charges following an incident in which a vehicle refused to stop for police.

At approximately 10 p.m., December 10, 2019, Patrol Officers spotted a Pontiac Montana minivan displaying an incorrect license plate, at the intersection of Avenue P and 22nd Street. It was believed the van had been involved in an evade police incident earlier in the day. Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop of the vehicle, however it again refused to stop. At one point the suspect drove through a chain link fence in the 1000 block of Avenue I North. Members of the Air Support Unit were able to assist and other Patrol Officers deployed a tire deflation device, successfully damaging three of the suspect vehicle's tires. The vehicle came to a stop on Benz Crescent where officers, assisted by the Canine Unit located the man hiding under a tarp at a nearby residence. He was treated at the scene by Medavie Health Services for a dog bite injury. He was found to be in possession of a hunting knife and pepper spray.

The man is facing charges of Mischief (damage to the fence), Evade Police, Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, and Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public Peace (X2).
