A South Okanagan man arrested on Sunday may be facing assault and firearm charges, police say, following a report of domestic partner violence.
Oliver RCMP say the report came in around 3 p.m., and that it involved a firearm, which led to a large police presence.
“The female victim was able to leave the residence, while the male suspect remained inside,” police said of the incident on Co-Op Avenue.

“Given the risk posed to officers and the public, the Southeast District’s Emergency Response Team assisted, and were successful in safely apprehending the man.”
Police say a 31-year-old Oliver resident is being held in custody until a bail hearing takes place. However, RCMP say they will be recommending charges related to assault and pointing a firearm.
“As the investigation continues,” Cpl. James Grandy said, “officers will remain at the residence this morning.”
