The Manitoba First Nations Police Service’s K-9 Unit nabbed a few more arrests over the weekend.
On July 12th, MFNPS was called to an address on Birdtail Road on the Waywayseecappo First Nation where an assault occurred.
Upon arrival, two subjects were seen running in two different directions. K-9 Ceto followed one of the subjects north for close to 500 metres. A male was arrested without incident. The second suspect ran west and Ceto tracked them for nearly 800 metres. A female was arrested for assault and numerous breach charges.
Then on July 13th, MFNPS was on patrol when a vehicle made a quick turn in front of the Police Unit. After refusing to stop, the suspect vehicle ran from police and after a short pursuit, the vehicle lost control through a field. The female passenger was arrested without incident but the male driver took off running.
K-9 Ceto immediately tracked the driver, where he was found hiding under water in deep mud and grass. He was then quickly arrested and transported to the Waywayseecappo detachment.
He is facing charges for Flight from Police, Resisting arrest, Driving prohibited, dangerous driving, and mischief over $5000 (damage to the personal property).
These charges are on top of previous charges of impaired operation, failure to attend court, and flight from police.
