The 24-year-old Cold Lake male has been charged with obstructing a police officer, two counts of resisting a police officer, five counts of breaching a recognizance, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failing to stop for a police officer, operating a motor vehicle without the proper registration, and operating an uninsured motor vehicle on a highway.
