A pickup truck was speeding throughout the community of Treherne early Monday morning at around 4:50 a.m. RCMP attempted to pull over the vehicle, at which time the vechile failed to stop, resulting in a pursuit out of town limits.

RCMP Media Relations Officer Paul Menaigre says the pursuit began with the vehicles colliding, hitting a ditch and then moving into a field. They were back onto a road when finally RCMP were able to capture the driver with the help of Brandon Police Service Dogs. Manaigre notes no one was injured, and only slight damage was done to the vehicles.

28-year-old Tyler Lucas Middleton, from the RM of Grey, is charged with Dangeous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Flight from Police, Assaulting a Police Officer with a Weapon, and Impaired Driving.

He had a court appearance in Portage la Prairie today.
