Man arrested after crashing into multiple police vehicles in Claresholm and Nanton
CLARESHOLM, AB – Claresholm and Nanton RCMP have arrested a man that allegedly damaged numerous law enforcement vehicles and one vehicle belonging to a civilian.
At approximately 8:15 am on Sunday, June 21, Claresholm RCMP were checking on a vehicle that was believed to have been stolen.
The driver was asleep in the vehicle, and when an officer approached, the driver allegedly awoke and put the one-tonne pickup into motion, slamming into two police vehicles.
One of the RCMP cruisers was disabled while the other chased after it. The stolen vehicle reportedly drove away at a high speed that would have been too unsafe for the officer to continue pursuing.
