An unnamed 53-year-old Squamish resident faces numerous charges after allegedly attacking RCMP officers with a knife.
The incident occurred when the Squamish RCMP responded to a domestic disturbance call at a residence on Wilson Crescent last Friday (April 28) at 9 p.m. RCMP members could hear a man yelling and a woman screaming, apparently in distress.
When the RCMP entered the apartment, the man reached for a knife and attacked the woman who resides in the apartment. When the RCMP interfered, the man turned the knife on the officers and a struggle ensued.
RCMP subdued the man leaving the woman uninjured. The RCMP members were also uninjured.
The man faces numerous charges related to weapons, assault and mischief.
He is expected to appear in court June 28.
Purple Palace raided
The RCMP arrested two men after executing a search warrant at the 38000 block Cleveland Avenue residence commonly referred to as the Purple Palace.
On Monday (May 1), RCMP entered the residence after intelligence led police to investigate for possession of stolen property, according to Cpl. Mike Byrne.
While on the premises, members discovered drugs and stolen property.
