NRPS say suspect rammed a cruiser during pursuit
A tense afternoon in Welland has led to an arrest.
Niagara Regional Police say officers had several interactions with a 27-year-old man Thursday, who allegedly acted erratically at a police facility before fleeing in a vehicle and driving dangerously through the city.
Investigators say the suspect also intentionally rammed a police cruiser while trying to evade officers before he was arrested at a Welland home by the Emergency Task Unit.
Dawson Morency is charged with dangerous operation, flight from a peace officer and failing to stop after an accident, and remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing. Police say no one was injured during the incident.
