PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. – An inmate who escaped a federal prison in Saskatchewan is facing new charges after police say he fled officers.
Glen Halkett was serving a nearly three-year sentence at Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert when staff noticed he was missing on New Year’s Eve.
RCMP say he was spotted by officers the next day in the driver’s seat of a vehicle at a home in Little Red River.
Mounties say officers approached the vehicle, but it sped past the police cruiser and hit its side.
Halkett, 29, is now charged with fleeing from a peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and driving while prohibited, along with charges of escaping custody and being unlawfully at large.
Sightings and information can be reported to police or Crime Stoppers.
Halkett is described as five-feet-eight-inches tall, 168 pounds, with brown eyes, black hair, a fair complexion and tattoos on his neck and under his left eye.
