A new development in the case of one of two people arrested, after a stolen vehicle struck a police cruiser in Hudson Bay.
On November 14, Mounties discovered a stolen truck at a residence in the town, and when they approached the vehicle with emergency lights engaged, the truck sped up and struck the police vehicle twice, disabling it.
Police had to use a taser to arrest one of the suspects..
In Melfort Provincial Court Monday, 22-year-old James Whitehead of Tisdale, pled guilty to assaulting police officers with a weapon, failure to stop for a police officer, and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, while the remaining charges were stayed by the Crown.
He was sentenced to time served, given a nine-month conditional sentence and a two-year driving ban, and he must forfeit the stolen property.
