Prohibited driver nabbed

A prohibited driver attempted to evade police only to dig himself a bigger hole.

Prince George RCMP said it began just after midnight last Monday when a member attempted to pull over a vehicle near Northwood Pulpmill Road. The driver took off only to flee down a dead-end road.

When police caught up to the man for a second time, he rammed through a set of metal gates and into a large field where the vehicle got stuck on a hill.

Despite attempting to spray the members with bear spray, he was arrested, as was a passenger who had been tracked down with the help of a handler and dog.

The two were released with future court dates. Charges remain pending and their names were not provided.
