Two men were arrested after a dispute in Selkirk, which ended with one of the suspects allegedly assaulting police officers.
26-year-old Justice Langlois and 24-year-old Riley Adams both face weapons charges.
On January 11, RCMP say Adams struck Langlois with his vehicle and then chased him down with a firearm. This, after police say Langlois smashed a window on Adams’ vehicle.
The two were arrested near Mercy Street in Selkirk. A BB gun that looked like a handgun was found in the snow close to the scene.
Langlois was arrested without incident, but was found to have a homemade weapon on him, a rag with a large bolt on the end according to police.
Meanwhile, police say Adams assaulted two officers when he was arrested. The officers received minor injuries. Adams faces a pair of assault charges.
