Red Deer RCMP have laid charges following an alleged incident in the city on Oct. 2 involving a repeat offender.

While conducting proactive patrols that day in the downtown area, RCMP observed a male operating a motorcycle erratically and driving at high rates of speed.

Officers identified the rider as someone well-known to police.

“Officers attempted to stop the motorcycle; however, the driver fled from police. Due to public safety concerns, no pursuit was initiated,” police say.

“A short time later, police identified the same individual driving a different vehicle. Officers conducted a traffic stop and arrested the male without incident.”
