Taser used to arrest Alberta man after plywood thrown at officers: RCMP
A Slave Lake man was Tasered by police after he allegedly threw a piece of plywood at officers.
Mounties initially arrested the man in Slave Lake on June 26 after receiving a report of a suspicious person.
When officers located and spoke to the man, they discovered he was on house arrest after allegedly attempting to punch a police officer on April 9, and reportedly attempting to cash a stolen cheque on April 22.
He was arrested on charges of breaching conditions and resisting arrest and taken before a Justice of the Peace and released for a future court date.
On Tuesday, Mounties got a report about a suspicious man in a backyard in Slave Lake.
Mounties located the same man and attempted to arrest him for breaching his house arrest.
The man allegedly threw a piece of plywood at the officers, and a Taser was used to arrest him.
The 31-year-old man has been charged with:
- two counts of assaulting a police officer;
- five counts of failure to comply with release order;
- three counts of resisting/obstructing a police officer;
- possession of weapon for a dangerous purpose; and
- two counts of uttering threats.
He remains in custody, and is set to appear in court on July 31.
Slave Lake is about 250 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
