VIDEO: IIO to probe violent RCMP takedown in Williams Lake after witness video goes viral
KAMLOOPS — The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has launched a probe into the violent arrest of a suspected dangerous driver in Williams Lake.
On October 25, a man was reported driving dangerously in the Kamloops area, and reports suggested he may have had a loaded gun with him.
Later, the suspect fled from RCMP members in Clinton and 100 Mile House, and narrowly missed hitting another officer in 150 Mile House. Mounties ended up using spike belts at two separate locations to get the vehicle stopped, which happened near White Road on Highway 97 in Williams Lake.
With the vehicle incapacitated, the suspect ran down a snowy embankment before responding officers caught up with him.
