Lengthy chase leads to Prince George RCMP arresting wanted man

A 30-year-old Prince George man is in trouble with the law once again.

Last Friday, the Prince George RCMP noticed a man with outstanding warrants driving a black Chevrolet Cavalier on the 2700 block of Spruce Street.

Officers tried to activate emergency equipment in an event to stop the vehicle, but the driver sped up toward the intersection of Highways 97 and 16.

A few hours later, the same vehicle failed to stop at a roadblock located on Highway 16 East in McBride and the driver nearly hit a local RCMP officer.
