A Stony Mountain escapee was recently located and arrested by the Manitoba Integrated Violent Offender Apprehension Unit. The incident resulted in the injury of a Selkirk RCMP member and a WPS officer.
On January 10, 2024, 24-year-old Terry Dutko, an inmate from Stony Mountain Institution, escaped lawful custody during a supervised visit in Winnipeg.
The Winnipeg Police Service Major Crimes Unit, working with the Manitoba Integrated Violent Offender Apprehension Unit (MIVOAU), an integrated team consisting of Manitoba RCMP and Winnipeg Police Service officers, led the investigation.
On January 15, 2024, MIVOAU officers attended a residence located on Toronto Avenue in Selkirk, where they were further assisted by officers from the Selkirk RCMP Detachment and RCMP Police Dog Services (PDS).
As the officers approached the residence, Dutko was observed exiting from the rear of the home and attempted to flee.
Dutko was placed under arrest but refused to comply with demands from police. PDS Phox was deployed to assist officers with the arrest. Dutko continued to resist by kicking and punching the police dog but officers were able to get Dutko into custody. Dutko sustained injuries from his interaction with the police dog and was taken to hospital where he was treated and released.
Police say that two officers, one from the Selkirk RCMP Detachment, along with a WPS officer, were injured as a result of the arrest. They were treated and released.
RCMP report that Terry Dutko was returned to the custody of Stony Mountain Institution and will face charges, including unlawfully at Large, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.
