Two police vehicles rammed

Three arrested after flight from police ends near Redwing

Jul 25, 2025 | 2:17 PM

A man who recently served a three year prison sentence for repeated flights from police, is back in custody facing similar charges.

Germaine Michel, 33, was among three people arrested on Thursday after an incident north of Prince Albert that ended after two police vehicles got rammed.

Around 9a.m, the Prince Albert RCMP were called out to Highway 2 near the Diefenbaker Bridge after reports came in of a vehicle being driven by a man wanted by police, and the man was believed to be armed.

Officers responded and found the suspect vehicle parked on a service road in Redwing. Police surrounded the vehicle with their own vehicles and emergency equipment.

The suspect vehicle attempted to make an escape, first backing into one of the police vehicles before pulling forward into a second, and then got stuck trying to pull through the ditch to escape. That’s where police were able to arrest a male and two females.
