The officers at this point turned the vehicle around to initiate a traffic stop to confirm if the driver was even licensed as his actions appeared very odd.
At this point the vehicle tried to pull away from the officers and into a residential complex at the east end of Exmouth Street. While driving the suspect cut off another vehicle, abandoned his car into a snow drift and ran from the vehicle where he was pursued by police on foot and was finally arrested without further incident.
