On November 19th, Innisfail RCMP made an arrest following a lengthy pursuit.

After an earlier apprehension with Sundre RCMP after midnight, an evading suspect was located in a vehicle in the Dickson Dam area by a patrolling Innisfail RCMP member. The suspect failed to stop for the officer and a pursuit followed.

The vehicle crashed through a fence and drove over a steep embankment at the intersection of Range Road 21 and Township Road 360. The driver then fled by foot. Additional RCMP assistance was requested including Police Dog Services but after three hours, the male was not located.

At 8:45 AM a call reported a suspicious male near Range Road 15. The male was then successfully located and arrested. He was released later in the day.

Innisfail RCMP continue to investigate the situation to determine the suspects connection to the vehicle and his relation to Rocky Mountain House. Further details will not be provided at this time.
