A 25-year-old man, already facing a lifetime driving ban, was charged with a long list of crimes after Winnipeg police alleged he led officers on a chase Thursday in a stolen vehicle.
The force says officers noticed the sedan driving near Panet Road and Dugald Road around 9:37 p.m., where AIR1 was able to see the vehicle.
Police were unable to stop him using a tire deflation device, and say the driver then drove onto a boulevard and onto a sidewalk when they tried to lock them up.

Less than half an hour after being seen, the car stopped in the Munroe West neighborhood, and police say the driver tried to resist arrest before being pulled over.
A search of the vehicle allegedly turned up 15.8 grams of cocaine, 12.9 grams of methamphetamine, a knife, and more than two dozen unknown pills.
Police say the driver was also found to be under a lifetime driving ban, and wanted for a warrant for the arrest and suspension of probation across Canada, which was issued on October 13.
The vehicle was reported stolen on November 11.
Allan David Graveline has been charged with several crimes, including police flight, possession for the purpose of trafficking and operating a vehicle while prohibited.
Remain detained.
