Police dog subdues alleged dangerous driver
KAMLOOPS — A case of dangerous driving will land a Kamloops man in court later this month.
Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says it stems from an incident early Tuesday morning when a man was spotted travelling eastbound on Valleyview Drive “at an extremely high rate of speed.”
“The officer turned on his emergency lights in an attempt to pull the vehicle over but instead, the driver sped up,” she says. “As the vehicle went around a corner the driver lost control, crossed into the opposing lane, went over the curb, across two lawns and three driveways before coming to a stop.”
Shelkie says the man then fled the vehicle prompting Mounties to call in police dog Fargo.
