43-year old Joel Pidluberg is facing one count each of flight from police, failing to stop, and dangerous driving, and two counts of breach of a release order.
He’s due back in court for a bail hearing on January 7th.
The charges are in connection with an incident this past Saturday. (Dec 27)
100 Mile House RCMP received a report of a possible impaired driver in a parking lot on the 100 block of Highway 97.
Upon arrival, police did not locate the vehicle, but further patrols were made and it was found parked on Canim Hendrix Lake Road.
Sergeant Brian Lamb says police pulled in behind the vehicle with the lights on, which is when the suspect is accused of ramming the police vehicle before fleeing the scene.
The driver was identified and police did not pursue at that time.
Lamb says they later attended the male’s residence where he was arrested.
