LETHBRIDGE — Patrol Officers had to use a little more force than usual Saturday (Oct 12) afternoon, after observing a Raymond man they knew was wanted on outstanding arrest warrants.
Around 3:45, the man was seen sitting in the passenger side of moving vehicle in the area of St. Edwards Boulevard North. An officer initiated a traffic stop in the 1200 block of 40 Avenue North and approached the suspect in the vehicle to advise him that he was under arrest due to outstanding warrants.
A brief altercation ensued and the suspect was tasered. However, the man broke free and ran from police. Officers were called in to flood the area, along with a K-9 team.
The suspect ran through several yards in the area before the K-9 team was able to catch up with him. Prior to his arrest, the man suffered minor injuries as a result of jumping over a fence and was transported to hospital where he remains at this time, in stable condition.
