A pursuit that started behind the wheel and ended on foot resulted in the arrest of two men early this morning in the Battlefords.
At approximately 3 a.m., Battlefords RCMP received a report of gunfire at a hotel on the 1000 block of the Highway 16 bypass. Surveillance footage showed the occupant of a silver car fired several shots toward a white SUV.
After initial patrols did not result in a sighting, RCMP were called to a stabbing at approximately 4 a.m. Arriving on scene at a gas station on the 900 block of Highway 16, officers did not locate any person suffering from a stab wound, but did find the white SUV from earlier. The driver was arrested for impaired driving.
Around two hours later, RCMP reviewed another report, this time of a man in a silver car waving a firearm on Trudeau Street. Upon arrival, attempts to stop the car resulted in the vehicle refusing to stop. This sparked a pursuit that spanned several blocks before the car lost control and drove over an embankment, resulting in damage.
