Deer Lake RCMP have arrested prolific offender, 36-year-old Archibald Billard, after he fled from police on foot from a house on Middle Road in Deer Lake. On Wednesday, October 23rd, Billard was driving while prohibited on the Trans-Canada Highway near St. Judes. Police say he was traveling in excess of 170 kms/hr and failed to stop for police, continuing to drive in an erratic manner. A second officer attempted to stop Billard in the community of St. Judes, who again failed to stop for police and was driving at high speeds and in a dangerous manner. In the interest of public safety, police did not pursue.
Billard is currently before the court in relation to a long list of charges and is on a number of court-ordered conditions following his recent release from custody. On October 15, 2024, Billard was released by the court in Grand Falls-Windsor in relation to fifteen charges of criminal offences that occurred on October 12, 2024, in Deer Lake and Grand Falls-Windsor. The charges include impaired operation, prohibited operation, flight from police, dangerous operation, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a controlled substance and breaches of probation. Following his release, Billard was ordered to report in person at Bay St. George RCMP and has failed to fulfill that condition.
