A distraught man who evaded RCMP faces potential charges after he allegedly rammed a police vehicle Sunday afternoon near the border of 麻豆精选 and Lake Country.
The 麻豆精选 RCMP, supported by the Lake Country RCMP, responded on Sept.24 at 12:50 p.m., to reports of a distraught male causing a disturbance outside his residence located in the 700 block of Beaver Lake Road in 麻豆精选. Residents of the immediate area reported hearing the man yelling and screaming and acting very erratically.
鈥淥fficers arrived on the scene and immediately began efforts to de-escalate the situation,鈥� said Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey, in a press release.
鈥淭he male retreated to his personal vehicle, which once inside he proceeded to ram one of the police vehicles twice prior to fleeing the scene.鈥�
RCMP monitored the movements of the suspect vehicle with the assistance of un-marked police vehicles and the Southeast District RCMP Air Services.
The 66-year-old 麻豆精选 man was taken into police custody, and apprehended under the Mental Health Act without further incident after he returned to his home. He was transported to hospital for a full medical assessment and now faces potential charges.
The Lake Country Mountie whose police vehicle was rammed, continues to recover from the non-life threatening injuries she sustained as a result of the incident.
If you witnessed this incident and have not yet spoken to police you are asked to contact the 麻豆精选 RCMP at 250-762-3300.
