A six-month supervised probation sentence has been given to a San Clara man found guilty of hitting an RCMP officer with a car.
In July of 2022, Roblin RCMP conducted a traffic stop at a campground on Highway 83, during which an officer told the driver that the vehicle would be towed because it wasn’t registered.
The suspect then allegedly got into the vehicle, reversed at a high rate of speed, and struck the officer, before leaving the scene.
Earlier this week, 32-year-old Matthew Paul was convicted of Assaulting a Peace Officer with a Weapon.
Besides the supervised probation, Paul was also fined one thousand dollars, and he must provide a DNA sample.
