A 29-year-old from Valley River is facing several charges after he chased a vehicle while under the influence, and he had a knife.

On October 8, Dauphin RCMP responded to a complaint that a vehicle was being chased by another vehicle, where the driver was brandishing a knife.

The victim said the incident began in a parking lot when he was confronted by the 29-year-old, who had a knife.

The victim fled, but Dylan Smith followed him at a high rate of speed. The victim and suspect were not known to each other. A traffic stop was conducted on Railway Avenue and Buchanon Avenue.

Two females exited the vehicle, and eventually, Dylan did as well.

Everyone in the vehicle was arrested and found to be under the influence of alcohol. Two females, aged 28 and 37, were released without charge.

A small amount of cocaine and a knife were found in the vehicle.

Smith faces a slew of charges, including flight from police and operation of a vehicle while impaired.
