Many charges stayed after wild chase

The Crown has stayed many of the nineteen charges against the man who led Nelson RCMP on a crazy chase in March.

34 year old Conan Lee Taylor still faces four charges including dangerous driving causing bodily harm and flight from a peace officer.

However charges including drug possession, drunk driving, and assault have been stayed.

Two officers were injured in several attempts to arrest him.
