RCMP are on the hunt for the man they believe is responsible for dragging one of their officers alongside a vehicle.

The La Loche Detachment says Saturday around 8 p.m., a constable pulled over a vehicle on Highway 155 south of La Loche and while speaking to those in the vehicle, it suddenly sped off.

The Constable was dragged for 50 to 100 metres before coming free from the vehicle and falling to the road.

The Constable was treated at the hospital and released after being injured in the incident.

32 year old Colin Evan Lemaigre (seen here) is facing several charges including Assaulting a Peace Officer with a Weapon.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Lemaigre is asked to contact La Loche RCMP or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.
