An Innisfail resident has been charged following a recent traffic stop.

RCMP say it was on April 13 when members in Innisfail observed a motorcycle in town with no license plate.

Officers attempted a traffic stop, however the motorcycle did not stop and instead accelerated at high speed. Police say the motorcycle drove through numerous stop signs without stopping, and cut off other motorists.

It then lost control on gravel near the ‘auction mart’ and crashed. The driver allegedly attempted to flee the area on foot, but was apprehended.

Investigation revealed that the motorcycle was stolen and the VIN had been tampered with. The suspect was a suspended driver and when arrested and searched, was allegedly found to be in possession of a small amount of methamphetamine and fentanyl.
