On April 6 at roughly 9:40 a.m., Mounties saw a man driving who was involved in an assault that took place the previous day in Ellershouse. The suspect was driving on Hwy. 7 and when police attempted a traffic stop, the man didn’t comply. Police say they did not pursue the vehicle and instead, tried to stop the man using spike belts. To avoid one of the belts, the man swerved his vehicle and struck a commercial truck, which was stopped in traffic. The suspect then took off from the scene. Meantime, other Mounties were on the Forest Hills Extension attending an unrelated motor vehicle collision which shut down the roadway. RCMP say they anticipated the suspect would travel through the area and laid down spike belts across both lanes, as a result. According to police, when the man approached, he tried to go around a police vehicle, but was unsuccessful and when officers told him he was under arrest, he reversed his truck and got stuck in the nearby ditch. The driver was arrested by members of HRP and a K-9 team. He resisted arrest and sustained a bite on his lower leg from the police dog. He was treated by EHS at the scene and taken into custody. Randall Blanchard, 35, has been charged with: Assault causing bodily harm Forcible confinement Uttering threats Breaking and entering with intent Mischief Theft of a motor vehicle Failure to comply with a release order (four counts) Dangerous operation of a conveyance Flight from peace officer Failure to stop after accident Resists a peace officer Blanchard was remanded in custody and was scheduled to appear in Windsor Provincial Court on Tuesday. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Worker sent to hospital after workplace fall next post إشارة راديوية “متماسكة” تبعث الأمل بإمكانية الحياة خارج كوكبنا You may also like كارني تعهّد بتوحيد بلد منقسم من أجل مواجهة... 29 أبريل، 2025 احتفاظ الليبراليين بقيادة كارني بالسلطة في أوتاوا 29 أبريل، 2025 Liberals complete the sweep of Halifax-area ridings 29 أبريل، 2025 Province updates school code of conduct amid rise... 29 أبريل، 2025 Liberals make gains in Nova Scotia amid tight... 29 أبريل، 2025 RMCP search for missing Lower Sackville woman 26 أبريل، 2025 Canadians at pope’s funeral say ceremony reflected his... 26 أبريل، 2025 2alarm blaze decimates home in Middle Sackville 26 أبريل، 2025 Israeli airstrike kills 10 people, half of them... 26 أبريل، 2025 كارني يندّد بالحصار الغذائي الإسرائيلي على قطاع غزة 26 أبريل، 2025
