A man who allegedly did his best to elude police with both wheels and feet in the Holyrood area was finally arrested this morning at a convenience store.

The incident began at about 8:45 Thursday night at a home in Deer Park where RCMP say the man was uttering threats. The 32-year-old left the home in a vehicle which was stopped by officers on the Salmonier Line, but the driver not only took off at a high rate of speed, but police say he was operating it in a dangerous manner. They decided not to pursue.

They later located the car near a park in Holyrood, but the suspect ran into a wooded area.

They caught up with the man, Michael Howe, at a convenience store in Holyrood early Friday morning where he was arrested without incident.

He is up on numerous charges including sexual assault, aggravated assault, resisting and obstructing police, and five counts of breaking a release order.
