The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is looking into injuries sustained by a man during an arrest that occurred April 9, 2025.
In a news release, the IIO said police were called shortly before midnight to a residential building in the 1500-block of Victoria Street for a report of an intoxicated man who may have had a firearm.
Officers located the man on the hotel property outside one of the rooms, and RCMP moved to arrest him.
The man allegedly refused to follow police directions and was injured during the arrest. He was taken to hospital, where it was determined he may require surgery.
The IIO was notified shortly after the incident and is now investigating. Prince George RCMP is conducting a concurrent investigation into the initial weapons complaint.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the IIO witness line toll-free at 1-855-446-8477 or via the contact form at iiobc.ca.
