A man Manitoba RCMP describe as a “prolific offender” is in custody and facing a court appearance Wednesday.
Police said the man, 31, who was the subject of several outstanding warrants, was spotted driving in Ebb and Flow First Nation on the afternoon of March 28 by RCMP officers.
After the man avoided an attempted traffic stop, police said they chose not to pursue him out of public safety concern, but tracked down his vehicle a short distance away, in the ditch at the end of a dead-end road.
