Man who allegedly tried to run down RCMP arrested on Vancouver Island
SOOKE, B.C. – A man who police allege tried to run down officers in a stolen vehicle has been arrested in a small community on southwestern Vancouver Island.
West Shore RCMP say Derek Fast was taken into custody without incident in Sooke, B.C., late Tuesday afternoon.
Fast is expected to appear at a bail hearing on Wednesday morning.
He has been charged with assault with a weapon, dangerous operation and theft of a motor vehicle, as well as possession of a firearm and stolen property.
The charges arise from a incident in Langford on Friday when officers tried to stop a stolen vehicle.
The driver managed to get away after crashing his vehicle, but police managed to apprehend a passenger.
