Jasper RCMP officers were dispatched to a noise complaint at the Pine Bungalows Saturday night and the call did not go smoothly.
Officers arrived on the scene just after midnight. They discovered one of the people there, a 31-year-old woman from White Rock, B.C., had a warrant for her arrest out of Edmonton. She was taken into custody.
Her husband, RCMP said, “came out of a cabin and interfered with officers as they were taking his wife away.”
According to RCMP, the 29-year-old man, also from White Rock, was being “very disruptive and belligerent which caused multiple guests to come out of their cabins wondering what was the cause of such a disturbance.”
He was arrested for obstructing the enjoyment of property. During his arrest, he allegedly physically resisted officers and uttered threats against them, RCMP said in a news release Sunday.
While officers were trying to take the man into custody, his friend “physically interfered with the arresting officers and was arrested for obstructing a police officer,” RCMP said.
“His wife ran up to the scene and assaulted one of the officers,” police added. “She was placed under arrest but a significant altercation ensued which resulted in police deploying a conducted energy weapon (taser) on her.”
RCMP said her handcuffed husband kicked an officer who was on the ground arresting the man’s wife.
