Smithers man charged following rampage in rock truck
A Smithers man remained in custody as of April 18 on nine charges and pending a psychiatric assessment stemming from a rampage in a rock truck through the streets of Smithers April 2.
Zachary Apperloo is charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, dangerous operation of a conveyance, flight from police, motor vehicle theft, and mischief to property over $5,000 and three breaches of a release order. RCMP said in an email they responded to a report of a possible impaired operation of a vehicle just before 9 p.m. on April 2.“Due to the escalation of potential grievous harm to police as a result, shots were fired by police,” said Cpl. Alex Bérubé, an RCMP spokesperson. “Luckily, nobody was injured and police were able to stop the suspect.”
Apperloo was scheduled to appear in court April for an arraignment — an opportunity to enter a plea — on these and a similar set of seven charges from a previous incident on Feb. 5. Gordon Comer, a spokesperson for the B.C. Prosecution Service said there is also a May 15 appearance that will address the results of a psychiatric assessment.Sign up for a free account today, and receive top headlines in your inbox Monday to Saturday.
