P.A. woman accused of driving stolen vehicle into oncoming traffic

Jul 6, 2022 | 2:52 PM

RCMP have arrested a woman after evading officers near Missinipe.

That’s according to a media release, which states on July 2 at 11:30 a.m., La Ronge RCMP saw a vehicle reported as stolen from Southend travelling on Highway 102 near Missinipe.

Officers attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle did not stop.

Police again found the vehicle on Highway 2, south of La Ronge, and attempted a second traffic stop. The vehicle did not stop and drove into oncoming traffic, forcing a police vehicle into the ditch. The officer driving the police vehicle was not injured.

The vehicle continued travelling toward the Dore Lake area, where it came to a dead end. Officers set up roadblocks and the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was arrested without incident.

As a result of the investigation, Dacey Corrigal, 22, of Prince Albert, is charged with two counts of flight from a police officer, three counts of dangerous operation of a conveyance, obstruction of a police officer and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

Corrigal has appeared in court and will next appear on Dec. 8 in La Ronge. In June, Corrigal was handed a five-month jail sentence and nine months probation for macing a Prince Albert store clerk and stealing merchandise.

Officers from Saskatchewan RCMP’s La Ronge, Prince Albert, Waskesiu, Meadow Lake and Big River detachments, Tactical Support Group, Prince Albert Police Dog Services, and Emergency Response Team, as well as conservation officers with the Provincial Protective Services Branch, assisted with this investigation.
