RCMP in northern B.C. arrested two men that had visited someone in COVID-19 isolation and tried to hit a police officer with a chair, according to a news release.
On Feb. 17, Mounties received a report about two men who were visiting a person in COVID-19 quarantine at the Sunshine Inn in Terrace.
The occupant of the room, who is a client of ‘Ksan Society, called the front desk for help after the men refused to leave.
The front desk called ‘Ksan Society, who then called the RCMP. When police arrived, they told the men they were unwelcome and needed to leave.
“The men became combative with police, lifting a chair and attempting to strike the member with it, shouting expletives and threatening to kill police officers on scene,” the release states.
The men were arrested for assault with a weapon, resisting arrest and uttering threats.
They were later released by police undertaking to address the matter in court.
