The driver was allegedly able to flee from police in a “dangerous manner” after they attempted a traffic stop.
The next morning at about 8 a.m., officers allegedly found the driver at Sunforest and Wexford Rd. In an attempt to escape, the driver allegedly backed into a police cruiser, but was then pinned by other responding cruisers.
“ Further investigation determined that the driver was involved in three prior incidents where he fled from police attempting to stop him for observed offences,” police alleged in a news release. “In each of those cases, while evading, his behaviour placed the public at significant risk.”
