Police used a spike belt to stop the car just east of Westwold.

Two people were arrested, Darwyn Allen Curtis Sellars, 31, and Jennifer Patricia Singleton, 38.

The pair faces a long list of charges, including attempted murder, possession of a firearm without a licence or registration, and flight from police.

Singleton appeared in Vernon Court via video on Monday. Her case was adjourned to January 13.

According to court records, Singleton has no prior convictions but the same can’t be said for her co-accused, who has a lengthy list of previous criminal charges.

According to court records, Sellars was on probation at the time of the Westwold incident.

His previous criminal charges stem from incidents in Williams Lake, Terrace, and Abbotsford and include weapons and assault offences, driving while prohibited, resisting arrests and failing to live up to probation conditions.

Sellars is scheduled to be back in court on January 6.
