According to police, officers at the scene spotted a man and a woman sitting inside a parked truck that had been reported stolen the day prior.
“As officers arrived the male passenger got out of the vehicle and started to walk away,” said police.
Police said when the officers informed the woman she was under arrest, she refused to leave the vehicle “despite reported orders from the police to do so.”
A police dog was used to bring her into custody, injuring the woman in the process. Paramedics took the woman to hospital, where she was treated for “what appeared to be minor injuries consistent with a dog bite,” noted police.
The man was also taken into custody “without incident.”
The 38-year-old woman is charged with motor vehicle theft and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.
She will make her first appearance in Regina Provincial Court on Jan. 6, police said.
