Suspect charged after weapons assault on Skeetchestn Reserve

Tk’emlups RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says officers were called to Skeetchestn last Friday (Feb. 16) to respond to reports of an assault and breach of a no-contact order.

Evelyn says a few hours later, Kamloops RCMP members were called to the 500-block of Notre Dame Drive for an intoxicated man refusing to leave an address. That’s when Mounties found the suspect in the Skeetchestn assault incident.

“The officer took the suspect into custody and he was held for court,” said Evelyn. “He was remanded in-custody to await his next appearance, scheduled for Feb. 23.”

Anyone with further information on the incident is asked to contact Tk’emlups RCMP at (250) 314-1800 and refer to file number 2024-4792.
