A police officer was allegedly dragged by a vehicle while a driver attempted to evade an arrest in a traffic stop in Cambridge.
Waterloo regional police say an officer was dragged by a vehicle while a driver attempted to evade an arrest at a traffic stop in Cambridge.
Police say the officer pulled over a male driver around 7:25 p.m. Wednesday after he failed to make a complete stop at a stop sign.
During the stop, the man allegedly gave a fake name.
Police say the man was informed he would be put under arrest, at which point he began to drive away, dragging the officer a short distance, before getting away.
About an hour later, police and paramedics were on Gore Road in Puslinch, and police were able to find the man at a nearby house.
The 20-year-old was arrested on a number of charges including: dangerous driving, flight from police, escape of lawful custody, obstruction of police (two counts), careless driving, stunt driving, failure to identify (two counts), failure to surrender licence and failure to stop at a stop sign.
It was also determined that the man was wanted on an outstanding warrant for fraud-related charges.
