A trial date has been set for a man accused of ramming a police vehicle in 100 Mile House.
43-year old Joel Pidluberg is due back in court on September 21st.
He’s charged with flight from police, failing to stop, dangerous driving, and two counts of breach of a release order.
The charges are in connection with an incident back on December 27, 2025.
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 it was eventually found parked on Canim Hendrix Lake Road.
Sergeant Brian Lamb says police pulled in behind the vehicle with lights on, which is when the suspect is then accused of ramming the police vehicle before fleeing the scene.
The driver was identified and they did not pursue at that time.
Lamb says they later attended the man’s residence and made an arrest.
