Accused in car chase, bomb threat seeks release on bail
A Prince Albert man who allegedly organized a bomb threat to avoid arrest after leading city police on a high-speed car chase was in court today seeking his release.
Carlyle Clint Miller, 38, was allegedly involved in a high-speed car chase April 8 and a bomb threat during his subsequent arrest April 10. This morning he made an appearance in Prince Albert Provincial Court seeking his release on bail.
Crown Prosecutor John Morrall said police were searching for a suspect who had fled on foot from a 14th St. W. residence April 8 when an officer in an unmarked patrol car encountered Miller and a female passenger driving down a back alley. Because Miller was a known associate of the fleeing suspect and was known to drive without a valid licence, Morrall said the officer activated his lights and siren which caused Miller to flee.
Morrall said the chase initially left the city on Highway 302 reaching speeds of 160km/h before the fleeing suspect, allegedly Miller, turned into a field and tried to double back. Police attempted to deploy Stop Sticks to puncture the suspect’s tires, Morrall said, but the driver was able to avoid the trap.
