One woman was arrested following a failed attempt to flee from police last night.

On January 19, 2023 at around 10:00 p.m., officers patrolling in the area of 22nd Street West and Avenue H North attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle idling in a nearby parking lot. Upon activation of the emergency equipment, the suspect vehicle rammed the police vehicle before fleeing at a high rate of speed. In the interest of public safety, officers disengaged from the evade police incident as the suspect vehicle continued to be driven dangerously. A short time later, officers located the suspect vehicle unoccupied in the ditch near Highway 11 and Waneskewin Road. Following a track of fresh footprints in the snow, officers found the suspect attempting to hide nearby.

As a result, a 39-year-old woman from La Ronge, Saskatchewan was arrested and charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle, operating a vehicle being pursued by police, and assaulting a police officer (x2). She was also wanted on outstanding warrants from the Prince Albert Police Service.
