QUESNEL, B.C. — A 25-year-old man well known to police in Quesnel is facing several charges after fleeing from police last night (April 13).

Quesnel RCMP say it all started at approximately 10 p.m. when Mounties attempted to stop a vehicle that was being driven by a man known to be a prohibited driver.

“The vehicle fled from police, but police were able to contain the vehicle to a rural area. A spike belt was utilized to disable the vehicle and the man was taken into custody,” says Sgt. Clay Kronebush.

“The man is well known to police and has a lengthy history of driving and property related offences. The man was believed to be under the influence of drugs and is being investigated for operating a motor vehicle while impaired, flight from police, as well as several breaches of probation and court-imposed conditions.”
