Two men from the Stoney Nakoda First Nation, west of Calgary, face a long list of charges after Cochrane RCMP were called out to reports of a man pointing a gun at another man while driving a stolen vehicle.
Mounties, along with the RCMP helicopter and canine officers, responded to the First Nation late in the evening of April 30.Police said that after they arrived and located the truck, the suspect drove the vehicle directly towards an officer, forcing him to swerve into the ditch to avoid a collision.Police then deployed a tire deflation device, successfully puncturing three of the truck’s tires.When the vehicle came to a stop, officers quickly arrested two of the occupants. However, the driver fled into the nearby woods where he, too, was quickly arrested with the help of the helicopter and police dog. Story continues below advertisement
