Mountie dragged under car during Penhold traffic stop
A Red Deer man is facing charges after an RCMP vehicle was rammed in Penhold Sunday night and an officer injured after being dragged during an arrest attempt.
The incident happened around 11:00 p.m. when Innisfail Mounties on routine patrol in Penhold noted a vehicle idling outside the Penholder Tavern.
Police conducted a traffic stop with the vehicle and noted the license plate on it was registered to a different vehicle.
When officers approached, RCMP say the lone male driver became agitated, yelling at police to shut their lights off and rolled his windows up and locked his doors.
