KAMLOOPS — A 30-year-old Kamloops man is charged with assaulting a police officer and dangerous driving after an investigation that stretched into several North Thompson communities.
In a news release issued Thursday (May 16), Kamloops RCMP say the charges stem from Saturday, May 11, at around 4:50 p.m. when a patrolling officer stopped a white car near 13th Street and Halston Avenue.
RCMP say while the officer was investigating motor vehicle offences, the vehicle reportedly drove away.
“Officers did not enter into a pursuit, but did relocate the vehicle near Windsor Avenue, where it again allegedly fled, this time onto Highway 5 North,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says. “Soon after, it was located in Barriere, then in Clearwater, and was successfully stopped in Little Fort by Clearwater RCMP officers.”
