A van evaded a check stop on Wednesday morning near Lanigan but was later found with the alleged driver inside.
Combined Traffic Services of the RCMP and Saskatoon Police Service, along with CP Rail Police, and members from the Lanigan, Wynyard and Watrous RCMP detachments were on Highway 16 when a van entered the check stop area.
Instead of stopping though, police say the van jumped the curb, nearly hitting an officer and then sped off.
A check of the license plate indicated it was a stolen vehicle from Lloydminster.
A short time later the vehicle with the driver inside was found stuck in a field.
A Nova Scotia man, 28 year old Kyle Lang, is facing charges that include possession of property obtained by crime, assaulting a peace officer and possession of a prohibited weapon.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
