According to RCMP, officers were called to a home in Sackville, N.B. on Sept. 7 at around 1 a.m. after a shot had been fired. No one was injured in the incident.

Later that day, an RCMP officer stopped a vehicle in Williams Point, N.S., just outside Antigonish, and arrested Lanceleve and a Nova Scotia woman.

However, Lanceleve was able to escape police custody.

“He was placed under arrest and a brief struggle ensued and he was able to flee (on foot),” said Cpl. Brian Villers with New Brunswick’s Southeast District RCMP.
