MIDDLE SACKVILLE:<\/strong> A 48-year-old man from Halifax has been charged with a slew of offences after leading police on a pursuit from Elmsdale to Middle Sackville, where he rammed a police vehicle and then became stuck in a snowbank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An RCMP spokesperson said that on February 16, at approximately 10:30 a.m., RCMP officers responded to a report of an impaired driver who had left a business in Elmsdale in a Dodge Journey with New Brunswick licence plates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle, reported to be driven by a woman, was last seen travelling south on Hwy. 2 towards Fall River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A responding officer in an unmarked police vehicle later located the Dodge travelling west on Windgate Dr., now being driven by a man.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer attempted a traffic stop using emergency equipment, but the driver failed to stop and accelerated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson said the officer then deactivated the emergency equipment but continued to follow.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer located the Dodge on Sawyer Cres. and again, activated emergency equipment.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, the Dodge then rammed the police vehicle.\u00a0 The officer was not physically injured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man reversed the Dodge and attempted to flee but lost control and became stuck in a snowbank.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the driver and passenger were safely arrested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passenger, a 41-year-old woman from Halifax, was released without charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
