Man tased by police after dangerous driving and resisting arrest
Prince Albert RCMP say a man who was tased by officers had been driving recklessly through a residential neighbourhood, ignoring signs and speeding.
Wednesday’s incident was initiated when a Saskatchewan RCMP officer with Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan was patrolling in the Prince Albert area and observed a vehicle driving more than 150 km/hr on Highway 3, east of Prince Albert.
The officer activated their emergency lights and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle did not stop and continued to drive in an erratic manner.
The vehicle later became disabled in the City of Prince Albert and when police approached it, the driver would not comply with commands, exited the vehicle and pointed a knife toward the officer.
