A 35-year-old who police describe as a prolific offender is facing additional charges after allegedly being caught breaking the conditions of a release order.
According to RCMP, on Friday, an off-duty officer reportedly spotted the suspect, who is said to be “bound by condition not to operate a motor vehicle,” driving a vehicle away from a local business. Police later located the vehicle and confirmed the suspect was driving before they attempted a traffic stop. The man reportedly fled the scene and police decided not to follow him due to public safety concerns but instead arrested him at his home.
The 35-year-old is facing charges for operating a motor vehicle while prohibited, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police and failure to comply with release order.
According to a statement from RCMP officials, “We want the community to know that we are committed to holding accountable all criminals, especially those who would do continuous harm to our homes.”
The suspect was brought before a justice of the peace and remanded into custody before being released.
Gamache was brought before a justice of the peace, and though originally remanded, he has since been released.
