As well as assault by choking, the man has been charged with breaking and entering, assault, uttering threats to cause death, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of the proceeds of crime over $5000, possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace, and unauthorized carring of a concealed weapon.
Police plane, dog track woman after stolen vehicle report
A woman who ran into an alley in Saskatoon after the vehicle she was driving was stopped by a tire deflation device laid by police on Friday was then tracked and bitten by a police dog, police said.
SPS said in a news release on Feb. 6 that the 25-year-old woman was charged with evading police, operating a vehicle with disregard for public safety, operating a vehicle while prohibited, theft of a vehicle, and two counts of failing to comply with court-imposed conditions after the incident.
Police said that officers were told around 1 a.m. that a vehicle that had been reported stolen to Prince Albert Police Service was believed to be in Saskatoon.
That vehicle was seen travelling west on Circle Drive across the Gordie Howe Bridge and police tried to stop it but the police plane had to take over monitoring the vehicle’s movements.
SPS said officers successfully used the tire deflation device at Circle Drive and 11th Street West and the vehicle continued to be driven for a short distance before the driver fled into an alley on Avenue T South where the woman was arrested with the help of a police dog.
She was taken to hospital for treatment of a dog bite, police said.
