Jail sentence for one accused after police pursuit

Alberta Justice says one of the two people charged after a police pursuit in February of 2020 has been given a 480-day jail sentence.

Spencer Wilson was given the sentence on October 16 in Grande Prairie court after pleading guilty to a reduced charge of flight from a peace officer and another count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

RCMP said at the time that on February 28, 2020, officers on patrol in the Clairmont industrial area saw a suspicious vehicle, one that had been stolen in Grande Prairie.

When Mounties tried to stop the vehicle, a police vehicle was rammed and a pursuit that lasted 11 minutes ensued. The suspects used bear spray during the pursuit to try to keep RCMP from giving chase.

The pursuit ended when the suspect vehicle got stuck in snow at Range Road 62 and Township Road 730. The driver was arrested after a short chase on foot.

Charges were withdrawn against the second suspect, Andrew Moores.

Fairview RCMP said at the time that they got a report of a break-in at a rural business. A witness confronted the suspect in a vehicle, resulting in the witness’s vehicle being run off the road.

There was an order for discharge and a seized items order for two other counts.

Ali was one of two people arrested by McLennan RCMP in August off 2021 after police spotted a suspicious vehicle near Highway 49 and Range Road 24.

Ali and Samantha Linnea Camber of Girouxville were arrested on the scene on outstanding warrants and charges of possession of stolen property.

Police said at the time that further investigation led to other charges related to crimes that happened in the jurisdiction of the McLennan detachment.

A stay of proceedings was put in place on all charges against Camber in September of 2023.
