On Feb. 28 Fort St. John RCMP received a report of an assault which had occurred on the 8800 block of 87th Avenue. It was reported that the suspect had barricaded himself in the downstairs portion of the residence where he had the potential access to firearms.
Officers attended the scene and were able to remove the victim and family from the top floor of the residence. Additional officers arrived from multiple units to assist with containing the area as well as blocking off access to the street and back alley.
Eventually, contact was made with the man, who was arrested without incident and transported to the detachment. The investigation is ongoing at the time of writing.
