A 33-year-old Osoyoos man faces multiple charges in relation to a series of events Tuesday morning which allegedly began with stealing a 1993 Ford F150 from a home in Penticton.

RCMP were told at 3:58 a.m. that the red truck, which had a Yamaha Big Bear ATV in the back, went missing from the driveway. The noise from the vehicle woke the homeowner who immediately contacted police.

An officer observed a southbound truck on the Channel Parkway at Skaha Lake Road at 4:09 a.m. The officer attempted to pull the driver over but instead the truck made a sudden right turn onto Old Airport Road, missing the turn and hitting a hill on the west side of the road.

The truck then reversed and rammed the front of the police vehicle.

The man, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, faces charges including theft of a motor vehicle, evading a police officer, dangerous operation of motor vehicle, assault of a police officer with a weapon, possession of break-in instruments and driving while prohibited.

No name court date set for next week.
