Crown Prosecutor Kofi Nkrumah-Young told the court that the vehicle Baptiste was driving reached speeds of up to 180 kilometres an hour during the pursuit that ended in Battleford. Baptiste and Delainey Sunchild Moosomin, 23, were arrested April 4. Battlefords RCMP say that an unknown man entered a residence and demanded vehicle keys from the property owner. The suspect was given keys to a 2002 white Buick Century. Police recovered the vehicle not long after and arrested Moosomin and Baptiste. Nkrumah-Young told the court there was no indication that Baptiste was a part of the robbery at the residence. Defence lawyer Andrew Lyster said that Baptiste wants to go back to school. In addition, she wants to get help at a treatment centre to deal with her alcohol addiction.
