Resisting arrest doesn’t pan out for Weldon man
A 39-year old man from Weldon was scheduled to appear in Prince Albert Provincial Court on Monday to face several charges including the assault of a peace officer, with the intent to resist arrest.
On April 12, just after midnight, Prince Albert RCMP were responding to a report of a disturbance outside of a business on Highway 2, just north of Prince Albert. Two men were involved in an altercation and drove away. Police stopped their vehicle on the highway and determined the driver was impaired. While they were arresting him, a passenger got into the driver’s seat and attempted to drive away.
While officers were trying to stop him, he exited the vehicle and began assaulting the officers and resisting arrest. The officers were not seriously hurt. A conducted energy device was used and the man, who had also provided a fake name to police, was arrested.
Jonathon Mah is facing two counts of resist/obstruct peace officer and three counts of fail to comply with release order, among other charges. He was also arrested on outstanding warrants from Prince Albert Police Service.
