RCMP tried to pull over an SUV in Lower Sackville

A man is facing several charges after RCMP tried to pull over an SUV in Lower Sackville.

Mounties say an officer spotted the dark-coloured vehicle with a burnt-out headlight on Sackville Drive at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, but lost sight of it after it made a turn.

Another officer tried to stop the vehicle moments later at Millwood Dr. and Wagner Dr.

Police say the driver slowed down as if it was going to stop, but took off again and ran a red light.

At 2:36 a.m., a third officer located the vehicle flipped over onto its roof on Stokil Dr.

RCMP say as the officer approached, the driver ran off.

A police dog was called in and a suspect was tracked down just after 3 a.m. in a wooded area near a home on Haddad Dr.

EHS checked him over as a precaution, but he wasn't hurt.

Mounties say they arrested him for flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and impaired driving.

He's scheduled to appear in court in February.

The suspect has also been ticketed for failing to stop at a stop sign, failing to stop at a red light, failing to comply with the conditions of being a newly licenced driver, driving without a motor vehicle liability policy, driving an unregistered vehicle and failing to have two working headlights.
