REVELSTOKE, B.C. — An early morning spike belt deployment helped put an end to a run from police near Revelstoke, B.C. on Monday.

According to an RCMP news release, a member of the public phoned Chase RCMP just after midnight Monday morning, complaining about a newer model white Ford F350 pickup driving erratically.

About 25 minutes later, a Salmon Arm RCMP officer tried to pull the truck over but it didn’t stop and sped off eastbound on the Trans Canada Highway.

At about 1:30 a.m., Revelstoke Mounties tried to pull over the truck, this time using a spike belt. The belt deflated one of the trucks tires and it came to a stop.

Officers arrested the person behind the wheel, a 28-year-old Red Deer woman. The suspect was bound by conditions not to be behind the wheel of any vehicle without its owner present.
