Charges have been laid against a 34-year-man in connection to an incident in a Walmart parking lot that left two police cruisers damaged.
Emergency crews were called to the store in Okotoks on October 26 after a truck was reported driving erratically in the parking lot.
Police tried to stop the white, 2002 Dodge Ram truck but the driver rammed two police cars and then fled the scene.
An investigation determined that the truck was stolen and an arrest warrant was issued for Cameron David Randall for a variety of offences including; assault with a weapon, assaulting a police officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and possession of stolen property.
Calgary police arrested Randall on Saturday evening and he was transported back to the Okotoks RCMP detachment where he remains in custody.
“This is a great example of the partnership and collaboration that exists between the RCMP and the Calgary Police Service,” said Corporal Darryl Dawkins of the Okotoks GIS Unit. “We’re pleased that no members of the public, RCMP or Calgary Police Service were injured in either the police car ramming, or the arrest of the suspect. We thank Calgary Police Service for their diligent work in apprehending Randall.”
Randall is scheduled to appear in Provincial Court in Okotoks on Tuesday, November 28.
