Known offender charged after repeated vehicle ramming on Piikani Nation

BY Connect Newsroom - Jasmine Singh, Jan 26, 2026 5:36 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Mounties serving the Piikani Nation in southern Alberta say a 19-year-old man with a prior criminal history is facing several charges following a vehicle incident that occurred around the Christmas period.

Piikani Nation RCMP report they were called after receiving complaints that a vehicle was deliberately rammed into another car multiple times. Police say the suspect fled the area before officers arrived.

The investigation continued for several weeks, and RCMP say the man was located and arrested nearly one month after the incident. No serious injuries were reported, but police describe the incident as dangerous and concerning for community safety.

Among the charges laid is failing to comply with a release order, an offence that RCMP say highlights ongoing challenges in managing repeat offenders within rural and First Nations communities. Such breaches can result in stricter court conditions or custody, depending on the circumstances.

The accused is scheduled to appear in court at a later date. RCMP say the investigation remains active and additional charges are possible.
