Prince Albert police say two officers involved in a stolen vehicle pursuit last Monday afternoon were not seriously hurt when the suspect rammed one of the police vehicles while attempting to flee.

The stolen vehicle, which happened to be a city truck, was brought to a stop near the corner of 28th St. and second avenue west.

Roderick Ballantyne, 27, was arrested without incident and is facing a list of charges including possession of stolen property over $5,000, flight from police, and two counts of assault with a motor vehicle.

Video footage provided to paNOW shows the truck wedged between two police vehicles.

Ballantyne is currently in custody and is scheduled to make his next court appearance on Wednesday, Sept. 7.
