File # 2022-17644

A report involving a bear spray deployment and possible stabbing led to a large police presence on the North Shore last night.

On May 25, 2022 around 8 p.m., frontline officers responded to the 600-block of Fortune Drive where a man was reportedly inside a restaurant and threatening a person with weapons. While police were en route, updates indicated a person had possibly been stabbed and that bear spray had been deployed.

Inside, police quickly located a man identified as the suspect, who was still in possession of a weapon, said Constable Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson. The presence of a weapon increased the risk to the public and to the officers responding, and the man was quickly taken into custody to prevent escalation.

Further investigation revealed no stabbing or bear spray deployment had occurred.

A woman and another man were also arrested in relation to the incident. The accused received a court date and conditions, the victim was wanted and held on a warrant, and a woman was released without process.

Weapons and drugs were seized as part of the ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file number 2022-17644.
