Story summary

A 44-year-old man from North Dakota was charged after fleeing Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers at the Emerson port of entry in Manitoba, Canada, around 6:23 p.m. on a Saturday evening. Instead of complying with directions to undergo secondary screening upon trying to enter Canada, he sped away and led police on a high-speed chase along Highway 75 towards Winnipeg. The RCMP responded, attempting to stop the suspect south of Morris but failed; further north, they managed to box him in near the intersection of Highway 75 and PR 210 where he evaded again. Eventually, at approximately 7:05 p.m., police stopped his vehicle and arrested him. Inside was a loaded handgun and ammunition. He now faces ten charges, including flight from peace officer and assault with a weapon. Supt. Chris Hastie of the Manitoba East District RCMP stated this was a dangerous situation involving an armed individual fleeing at high speeds towards Winnipeg, emphasizing coordinated efforts by the RCMP and CBSA to bring it to a close without injuries reported among officers involved.
