Kamloops man accused of assaulting police officer arrested after chase

A Kamloops man has been charged with assaulting a police officer and driving offences after he fled from police through several different towns. A Kamloops RCMP officer was on patrol on the North Shore when he stopped a white car near 13 Street and Halston Avenue around 4:50 p.m. on May 11. The traffic stop took a turn when the car took off, according to a press release from RCMP. “Officers did not enter into a pursuit, but did relocate the vehicle near Windsor Avenue, where it again allegedly fled, this time onto Highway 5 North,”  Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said in the release. “Soon after it was located in Barriere, then in Clearwater, and was successfully stopped in Little Fort by Clearwater RCMP officers.” After tracking the car through various jurisdictions police arrested the driver and transferred him to Kamloops RCMP’s custody for a bail hearing. Brian Stuckless, 30, has been charged with assaulting a police officer, dangerous driving and three counts of failure to stop for a peace officer. Stuckless was remanded in custody until his next court date on May 24.
