RCMP charge man after he fled from police
Colchester County District RCMP has charged a man who fled from police on Warwick Mountain Rd. in Warwick Mountain.
On January 6 at approximately 9:15 a.m., police were on their way to a home in Warwick Mountain to conduct a compliance check on a man’s house arrest. While travelling on Warwick Mountain Rd. police observed the man driving towards them, in breach of his house arrest condition. Police attempted a traffic stop, however the man fled. The man’s vehicle became trapped in a muddy field a short distance away and he then fled into the woods.
An RCMP Police Service Dog was called to the scene to assist along with members of the Cumberland County District RCMP and more members of the Colchester County District RCMP. Approximately an hour later, while police were searching the woods, two RCMP members observed the 34-year-old man make a run from the woods towards a home. Police told the man he was under arrest and after a short foot chase, the man was taken into custody without further incident.
Robert James Robblee, 34, of Warwick Mountain, has been charged with Flight from Police, Resist Arrest, Operation of a Conveyance while Prohibited and Possession of a Controlled Substance. Robblee was held in custody and will be appearing in Truro Provincial Court today.
