Winnipeg police say an intoxicated man was arrested Thursday evening after breaking into a Talbot Avenue home and trying to hide.
Officers were called to the scene around 5 p.m., initially due to a report of shots fired, although that was later determined to be the sound of the suspect smashing a window.
At the time of the break-in, a couple was at home, but managed to escape and call police from a safe distance.
