RCMP identified the man, a 42-year-old previously known to police for violent conduct, and arrested him Thursday at his home in Russell, after attempts to convince him to turn himself in failed.
Police said the man resisted being taken into custody and physically fought officers. The man’s dog also bit an officer on the leg.
