MERRITT, B.C. — A Vernon man has been arrested and charged with allegedly breaching his release order.
Colton Schatz, 37, was arrested after attempting to escape from police. Merritt RCMP arrived at a local motel on April 1 where Schatz was allegedly breaching his release, which resulted in a quick foot pursuit.
Schatz was denied bail on April 7 and remains in police custody. He’ll appear before Vernon Law Courts on April 22 to deal with his Merritt charges, along with charges that stem from multiple incidents in Vernon.
