RCMP in The Pas has arrested a 24-year-old Swan River man after an incident in that community Wednesday night.
Mounties say at around 11:35 that evening, they received a report of a pickup truck being stolen from a residence.
Thanks to the GPS in the truck, police were able to track the vehicle and eventually pull it over.
The driver, who did not have a driver's license, was arrested and taken to The Pas detachment.
Mounties say the suspect uttered threats and then assaulted one of the officers who was placing him in the cell.
The officer was treated for their injuries in hospital and was released.
Allan Knight remains in custody and faces a number of charges, including assaulting a Peace Officer.
