The Manitoba RCMP has laid charges in connection with an incident on Sunday that involved the driver of a car ramming into a pick-up truck near Ste. Rose du Lac.
Police began to investigate around 10:35 a.m. when officers received a report of the ramming on Highway 276. When police got to the area, they found two vehicles – a car and a pick-up truck – speeding on the highway, with the car swerving all over the road.
RCMP noted that both vehicles were damaged.
Mounties initiated a traffic stop, and both drivers pulled over. Two people got out of the car, a male driver and a female passenger. The passenger followed the officer’s instructions, while the driver would not let police cuff him. The man was eventually arrested, but an officer was injured in the process.
The driver of the pick-up truck, who was the only person in the vehicle, was arrested without incident.
Mounties searched the two vehicles and found a gun in each.
Police continued to investigate and determined that the driver of the pick-up truck had gone to Rorketon to repossess the vehicle from a home.
