From CBC



A Calgary woman who befriended a man from Manitoba was taken on a dangerous ride that ended with charges of kidnapping and forcible confinement.

The woman, 27, had known the man for about a week when he asked her to go for a ride with him in Calgary last Friday. She voluntarily got into the vehicle, said the Alberta RCMP on Monday.

The driver then stole some gas from a station in Calgary and sped east at speeds estimated at 185 to 200 km/h. Several people reported the vehicle to Strathmore RCMP.

The woman tried to use her cellphone but the man threw it out the car window. It was only when she opened the car door that the driver slowed the vehicle down enough for her to jump out, said police.

A passing motorist noticed the incident, called 911 and stopped to pick up the woman.

The suspect, 26, pursued the Good Samaritan's car into a farmyard and boxed him in.

The woman then ran into the farmhouse for help.

Gleichen RCMP arrived and arrested the suspect without incident. The woman was not hurt.

The suspect from Manitoba has been charged with several offences including kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and mischief.
