Recently released prolific offender accused in truck attack on Nanaimo Mounties
NANAIMO — Two Nanaimo men, including one fresh out of jail, have been charged for an alleged shocking attack on two RCMP officers.
Majore Jackson, 32, and Andrew Bellwood, 47, are charged with a combined nine offences after a high-profile incident in Yellow Point Wednesday morning.
Nanaimo RCMP said two officers were left with minor injuries after their undercover vehicles were destroyed when a large truck deliberately drove over their hoods and into one of the windshields. A pair of suspects were arrested following a brief foot chase in the area of Yellow Point Rd. and Roberts Rd., south of Nanaimo.
Jackson, the alleged driver of the stolen truck, faces six charges, including a pair of counts of assault with a weapon.
