SASKATOON - A Warman man is facing charges for allegedly evading police in Saskatoon.
On Aug. 27 at approximately 1:30 a.m. police attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle near the intersection of 11th Street West and Fairlight Drive. The same vehicle had previously evaded police in July.
The Air Support Unit (ASU) was notified and began monitoring the vehicle as it fled from police at a high rate of speed. Ground officers disengaged as ASU monitored the vehicle from above. As the vehicle approached the Circle Drive overpass at 11th Street a tire deflation device was successfully deployed.
The vehicle then turned onto Circle Drive Â鶹ÊÓƵ towards Lorne Avenue eventually making its way to Grasswood Road where another tire deflation device was successfully deployed. The vehicle came to a stop on Tamke Road when it hit the ditch and rolled. The driver was arrested without further incident and was eventually taken to hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
As a result, a 23-year-old man is facing charges related to impaired driving, evading police, and dangerous driving.
