Saskatoon police said a 27-year-old man is facing a drug charge after trying to evade them in a pickup truck early Thursday morning.
Officers said they attempted to pull over a suspicious vehicle on Aberdeen Place.
The driver refused to stop and police discontinued their efforts.
Police said the truck was spotted a short time later approaching 22nd Street West and Avenue P North and a tire deflation device was successfully used. The vehicle was found abandoned in the 1300-block of 20th Street West.
Officers quickly located and arrested the man identified as the driver of the truck.
He is facing several charges including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failing to stop for police, and possession of cocaine.
The unidentified man is expected to appear Thursday afternoon in Saskatoon provincial court.
