Over the week of August 8 to August 15, RCMP responded to 93 calls from the Fort St. James detachment.
On August 8 at 2:44 p.m., RCMP received a complaint a female had been assaulted by an unknown male at an unknown location on a reserve at midnight the night before.
The female victim when interviewed at the hospital reported she had been assaulted by her ex-boyfriend on the Tache Reserve.
The suspect had reportedly dragged her into his residence on the reserve and kicked and punched her.
The suspect was on conditions to abstain from alcohol and have no contact with the victim but was reportedly intoxicated at the time of the alleged assault.
The suspect was then brought in and has been remanded into custody until a court date of September 10 to face charges of forcible confinement, assault causing bodily harm, three counts of breach of probation and uttering death threats.
On August 9 at midnight, RCMP received two reports of a red Dodge pickup driving erratically on the Tache Reserve.
Members attending then passed a vehicle matching the description leaving the area and heading towards Fort St. James on the Tachie Road.
The members did not manage to catch up to the vehicle until the Conifex Mill and estimate the truck was traveling at between 140 and 150 km per hour. The police then saw the truck turn onto the tracks and police stopped their pursuit.
The vehicle was later located with the help of a CN employee. It was found with a flat tire, high-centred on the railway tracks, abandoned.
The driver is still unknown and the vehicle was towed and has been impounded.
Anyone with information on the incident, contact the Fort St. James RCMP at 250-996-8269 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The driver, when pulled over, reportedly exhibited signs of impairment and said he had only had two to three drinks an hour ago and he had no history of impaired violations.
The driver then produced fail readings on a roadside screening device.
The driver was then given an immediate roadside prohibition from driving for 90 days and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. Drivers receiving these immediate roadside prohibitions do not receive criminal records, however the infraction does show up on their driving records.
On August 11 at 2:34 a.m., a male complained his ex-girlfriend assaulted him in his residence on Nak’azdli Reserve.

The suspect was later located by police passed out in the bushes in the area.
The suspect is a young offender and appeared in court on August 13.
On August 11 at 10:23 p.m., police came across a white Dodge pickup parked on an angle facing into the ditch on the Lynn Lake Pitt Road.

The driver will appear in court on November 5 to face charges of impaired care and control of a motor vehicle and failure to provide breath samples.
On August 13 at 8:30 p.m., RCMP received a report a female had been bear sprayed at the Tache playground.

The young offender was from Prince George and has been arrested for assault with a weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
She has since been released into the custody of her grandmother under the conditions she not return to Tache or Fort St. James, she adhere to a curfew and she can not possess any weapons, including bear spray.
