A drunk man who was not allowed to drive tried to escape the police by all means, on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, in Saguenay.
The event started around 10:20 p.m. when patrollers found that a van was in the sector of the Bagotville military base.
“By investigating the plate, the police realized that the vehicle should be stored. They therefore tried to arrest [de l’automobiliste] “Explains Marc Simard, spokesperson for the Saguenay police service.
The motorist, however, refused to stop and decides to skip the median at the height of a roundabout to sow the authorities.
This was followed by a dangerous conduct in the opposite direction, without stopping at red lights, in the sector of the Chemin de la Grande-Anse. It was at this time that the police ceased the pursuit.
However, the driver was found shortly after during a sweeping operation near Saint-Joseph path.
“He had hidden behind a barn, but the police noticed traces in the lawn,” said Simard.
The individual tried to flee again, but was finally apprehended.
He has received numerous infringements totaling nearly $ 5,000 and was arrested for driving with weakened capacities, dangerous driving and leak. He had no driving license, but received 22 points of incapacity.
“He must appear at the Chicoutimi courthouse in the coming weeks,” said the policeman.
