The Squamish RCMP has arrested a 27-year-old Surrey resident for assaulting a police officer near the Squamish Valley Road.
The events unfolded on Aug. 8, when the West Vancouver police advised Squamish RCMP that a green pick up had failed to stop for their officers and was traveling north on Hwy 99.
At Britannia Beach, a Squamish RCMP officer located the suspect truck traveling at high speed.
The suspect attempted to ram the police vehicle when the officer’s vehicle approached.
The vehicle fled the area and was later located along Squamish Valley Rd.
A man and a woman from Surrey were found in the vehicle, but the driver fled the scene.
A police dog service team was summoned which tracked the male suspect in nearby bush.
The suspect sprayed the dog handler and service dog with a bear spray, but he was arrested.

The dog owner should endure the same procedure… oh but forgot, we are Canadians and anyone can make a mistake…apparently.
