RCMP say a 36-year-old man has been charged with multiple offences after allegedly almost running over a police officer in northwest Alberta last week.
On June 8, Mounties said they were called to investigate an impaired driving complaint when an officer spotted the vehicle in question on Range Road 61 near Spirit River.

Police allege the driver turned his vehicle around and crashed into the officer’s vehicle. When the officer got out of his vehicle, RCMP allege the suspect drove at him.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) was called in to investigate because the officer shot at the driver when he allegedly didn’t stop after colliding with the police vehicle.
The RCMP officer was able to jump out of the way of the oncoming vehicle and was not injured in the collision.
Nashon Jaron Osborne was later arrested and charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police, driving while disqualified, assault on a peace officer with a weapon, and mischief.
He is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Grande Prairie Provincial Court on June 29.
