A Newfoundland man is facing a long list of charges after allegedly ramming a stolen pickup truck into a local police cruiser and then running from the cops.
On Aug. 7, shortly after 1:30 p.m., a member of the Batchewana First Nation Police Service spotted a wanted person behind the wheel of a pickup truck on McNabb Street. When the Batchewana officer tried to pull over the truck, police say the driver rammed into the cruiser and sped away from the scene. With the help of both the Sault Ste. Marie OPP and local police, authorities located the pickup on Pine Street — but the driver had fled on foot. Police say they later learned the pickup truck was stolen from Echo Bay.He appeared in bail court via video link on Aug. 8 and was remanded into custody.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and Bennett is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
