According to police, Brass and the victim were driving together in her car, but when Brass learned he was on a Saskatchewan-wide warrant through the Moose Jaw Police Service, he became erratic and violent toward the woman.
The suspect allegedly assaulted, threatened and forcibly confined the woman in the vehicle.
Police say the woman tried to escape the vehicle when they were stopped at a red light, but the suspect allegedly grabbed her and pulled her back into the vehicle.
The woman was able to get away from the suspect, who then got into the driver’s seat and fled in her vehicle to a nearby gas station, police said.
Brass was arrested without incident on Saturday and charged with robbery, forcible confinement and assault with a weapon.
He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
