Dauphin RCMP arrested a man following a high-speed pursuit on Ebb and Flow First Nation Wednesday afternoon.
AOfficers attempted to stop a vehicle speeding on Lake Road SE at around 3:40 p.m. The driver refused to stop, driving erratically and fleeing from police.
After searching the area, RCMP located the vehicle on Sucker Creek Road, where they deployed a spike belt. The vehicle continued briefly before veering into a ditch, prompting the driver to flee on foot. Officers from multiple detachments tracked down the suspect hiding in the bush.
Upon arrest, police learned that the suspect was wanted on two outstanding warrants. A subsequent search uncovered a small quantity of methamphetamine in a bag nearby. Inside the vehicle, officers found an imitation firearm, additional drugs, and unstamped cigarettes.
Sean Beaulieu, 33, of Ebb and Flow First Nation, has been charged with multiple offences. He remains in custody.
