La Ronge woman arrested after allegedly ramming Saskatoon Police vehicle during traffic stop

Jan 20, 2023 | 5:01 PM

A woman from La Ronge was arrested following a failed attempt to flee from Saskatoon Police last night.

According to a Friday media release issued, officers were patrolling in the area of 22nd Street West and Avenue H North at 10 p.m. Thursday night, and attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle idling in a nearby parking lot.

Upon activation of the emergency equipment, the suspect vehicle rammed the police vehicle before fleeing at a high rate of speed. In the interest of public safety, officers disengaged from the evade police incident as the suspect vehicle continued to be driven dangerously.

A short time later, officers located the suspected vehicle unoccupied in the ditch near Highway 11 and Waneskewin Road. Following a track of fresh footprints in the snow, officers found the suspect attempting to hide nearby.

As a result, a 39-year-old woman from La Ronge was arrested and charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle, operating a vehicle being pursued by police, and assaulting a police officer. She was also wanted on outstanding warrants from the Prince Albert Police Service.
