On June 24 at 6 p.m., RCMP conducted a traffic check on a 32-year-old Prince George resident for failing to stop at a stop sign.
The man reportedly provided a false name to the officer, and it was discovered the man was on probation.
Upon examination of the vehicle, there was alcohol in the vehicle, break-in tools were found, and the decal on the licence plate was also discovered to be stolen.
Dale West remains in custody after his subsequent arrest and has been charged with one count of possession of stolen property under $5,000, obstructing a police officer, possession of break-in tools, one count of possession of a controlled substance and four counts of breach of probation.
