Update: Man Charged in Connection with Dangerous Driving Incident
MAY 03, 2014 APR
Calgary Police 120
Calgary, Alberta – The Calgary Police Service has charged a man in connection with a dangerous driving incident on Deerfoot Trail yesterday morning. At approximately 8:40 a.m., on Friday, May 2, 2014, police attempted to pull over a Chrysler 300 at Deerfoot Trail and 32 Avenue N.E., for a traffic infraction. The driver initially stopped, but when the officer approached the vehicle on foot, the vehicle sped away. Officers did not pursue the vehicle.
A short time later, police received reports of a vehicle that was speeding on the shoulder of southbound Deerfoot Trail. The vehicle entered the westbound 16 Avenue turnoff where it clipped a pick-up truck, and then smashed into the back of a minivan carrying a mother and two children. The family was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The minivan was then forced into another vehicle.
Several witnesses stopped to assist the occupants of both vehicles. As one of the witnesses approached the driver of the Chrysler, he saw the man grab a handgun and throw the weapon into the ditch and run from the scene. The witness went into the ditch and recovered the weapon, storing it in his truck as he then attended to the injured family. As he was doing so, the offender returned to the scene, opened the truck door and retrieved the weapon. He then ran into the ravine and was witnessed throwing the gun into the creek.
It’s believed the original witness and at least one other person then followed the offender and was able to subdue him until officers arrived on scene.
The Calgary Fire Department Aquatics Team was able to locate the weapon in the waterway and it has now been sent away for testing.
Christian MUKELE, 24, of Calgary has been charged with:
· s. 94(1) CC – Firearm: In Motor Vehicle
· s. 91(1) CC – Firearm: Unauthorized Possession
· s. 95(1) CC – Loaded Prohibited or Restricted Firearm: With Ammunition
· s. 88(1) CC – Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose
· s. 96(1) CC – Possession of a Weapon Obtained by Crime
· s. 249.1 CC – Flight from a Peace Officer
· s. 249(1) CC – Dangerous Driving
· s. 252(1)(b) CC – Hit and Run
