Caught on camera: truck speeds on wrong side of the road in Spruce Grove
A man is facing multiple charges after allegedly fleeing police from a fast food restaurant.
RCMP said the man was seen leaving a Stony Plain McDonalds at a high rate of speed on June 2 in a silver Ford F250. When officers tried to pull him over, he reportedly sped away.
Edmonton Police Air Services was called to help. The driver and truck were found parked in a residential area, RCMP said, but the driver sped off again when officers approached.
Mounties said the man could be seen speeding, crossing medians, driving on the wrong side of the road and almost crashing into several civilian and police vehicles. Police did not follow due to the risk to the public.
At about 3 a.m., officers were able to arrest the man after RCMP said the truck stalled in Spruce Grove and the man got out and tried to get into another nearby truck.
Police said the man resisted arrest. He was later taken to hospital for assessment before being released back to the RCMP.
The man, a Spruce Grove resident, was charged with:
flight from police;
dangerous operation of a motor vehicle;
theft of a motor vehicle;
resisting/obstructing a peace officer; and
operating a vehicle while prohibited.
The man was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Stony Plain on June 11.
