Aggressive behaviour by a suspicious individual in a rural area near Highway 29 north of Wilkie has resulted in an arrest warrant being issued for Sean Reid Schille, 38.
Schille is wanted on several criminal code charges.
At approximately 4:45 p.m. Aug. 13, Wilkie RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle on a rural property in that area. When officers responded, they ran the plates, which did not match the vehicle, a green Ford F350 truck. According to police, both were registered as stolen.
Police say when officers approached the vehicle and advised the man he was under arrest, he put the truck into reverse and backed into some bushes after striking a play structure on the property. He then put the vehicle in drive and drove toward one of the officers on scene, according to RCMP. The officer was not injured.
Police say the driver then took off through the bush and into a field. Officers were unable to follow due to the terrain, but continued to make patrols of the area.
Officers report they came to another rural property and saw a white Ford F350 being driven erratically heading north on a grid road. The green F350 from the previous incident was abandoned at this location.
Officers initiated a pursuit but ended it a short time later. The white F350 has since been recovered, but officers are still trying to locate the driver.
Schille has been charged with assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, mischief under $5,000, flight from police, motor vehicle theft, assault with a weapon, four counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, impaired operation of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and possession of marijuana.
Unity/Wilkie RCMP are asking anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Schille to contact their local RCMP detachment or police service, Unity/Wilkie RCMP at 306-228-6300. Anyone wishing to report information anonymously can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
