Red Deer RCMP says one of its members was injured during an incident stemming from a traffic stop in the city’s north end nearly two weeks ago.

It was at about 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 16 when a member of Red Deer RCMP Traffic Services conducted the traffic stop on a vehicle at the intersection of 68 Street and Taylor Drive.

According to a media release, the traffic stop led to an impaired driving investigation and the application of a roadside screening test. Police say the driver refused, and attempted to flee. The RCMP officer attempted to stop the suspect and an altercation occurred before the suspect fled in their vehicle.

After additional RCMP officers were sent out, the suspect car was located a short time later and the individual was taken into custody.

Moses Danto, 25, of Calgary is charged with:
