HUMBOLDT — A 24-year-old Saskatoon woman was charged with assaulting a police officer after being pulled over for erratic driving.

At around 5 pm on April 2, Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP were dispatched after receiving complaints about an erratic driver on Highway 5 west of Humboldt heading eastbound towards town.

“A traffic stop was conducted with the person, found to be breaching her conditions, at which time, the member took her into custody and a scuffle ensued,” said Cst. Geoff Applegate with the Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP.

“As a result of that incident, that 24 year old female from Saskatoon was charged with assaulting a police officer, uttering threats, resisting arrest, two counts of breaching of probation, as well as charged under the Traffic Safety Act for driving without a valid driver's licence.”

The woman was taken into custody and appeared in court April 3.
