Saskatoon Police arrested a 43-year-old man earlier this morning and have charged him with driving while disqualified and evading police.

It all started when a police canine unit saw a man shouting at a woman walking on the street at 20th Street and Avenue G S. Police ran the man's plate, and found it was registered to a man who was under a Canada-wide prohibition from driving.

Then, the driver refused to stop for police, and started driving the wrong way down 22nd Street at "excessive speeds."

The man ended up abandoning the truck behind an apartment building on Avenue N S.

A police service dog eventually tracked the man down. He was treated for dog bites.

Police found groceries and electronic items they believe were stolen from a department store yesterday.

The 43-year-old man from Battleford is facing charges of dangerous operating of a motor vehicle, evading police, driving while disqualified and theft under $5000.
