Stratford man arrested for fleeing Charlottetown Police and RCMP

A 45-year-old Stratford man was arrested on Tuesday by Queens District RCMP after fleeing in his vehicle from both Charlottetown Police and an RCMP traffic stop.  Just after 4:00 p.m., the RCMP received a “Be On The Lookout” message for a man who fled from Charlottetown Police, along with a vehicle description.  RCMP Members set up a traffic stop in the Hunter River area and located the vehicle – but again the driver fled from police. RCMP later located the vehicle, identified the driver and arrested the man. Police found drugs as well as a prohibited weapon in the vehicle. Charges are pending and the incident is still under investigation.
