A man was arrested on Friday after he tried to evade police by jumping out of a hotel window.
On Friday morning, the Brandon Police Service received a report of a male staying at a west end hotel who had fraudulently identified himself as an employee of a national company in order to get a room.
When police arrived at the scene, the man jumped out of a hotel room window.
The police K-9 unit tracked him to a garden shed in the area and he was taken into custody without incident.
Police say the man, a 31-year-old with no fixed address, is responsible for defrauding a number of Brandon businesses of food, lodgings, tools and computers.
He faces four counts of fraud under $5,000 and personation with intent.
The man was lodged at Brandon Correctional Centre and was set to appear in court the following morning.
