Terrace RCMP have arrested a man wanted on an assault warrant following a happenstance meeting this weekend.
An officer was on patrol at just past 11:00 Sunday night when he witnessed an intoxicated individual stumbling across Lazelle Avenue.
Upon confronting the man, the officer was able to recognize him as being wanted on an assault charge, despite being given a false name.
He was arrested for being intoxicated in public and obstruction, on top of the existing assault warrant.
The man was held to sober up, then released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.
