One man is in custody after a weapons incident on Sioux Valley Dakota Nation last week, Manitoba RCMP say.
Officers from the Virden detachment were called to the southwestern Manitoba community around 2:30 p.m. Thursday, where they said they learned a suspect had threatened two men with a machete at a Sioux Valley home, before leaving and returning with a firearm and pointing it at the men.
Police said there were several adults and children inside the home at the time, but no one was injured.
