On Sept. 16 at approximately 1:53 PM, a member of the Thompson RCMP was on patrol when an intoxicated man approached the police officer near a business on Thompson Drive and brandished a dagger style knife at them. 

 

This police officer was able to de-escalate the situation and told the man to drop the knife.  The man complied and was arrested without incident.  A 29 year-old man faces a charge of possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.

 

In another incident that night at around 10:20 PM, the RCMP received a report of a man chasing cars with a machete on Princeton Drive. 

 

Patrols were made and a 14 year-old male youth was found intoxicated in possession of a knife. 

 

This youth was arrested and faces multiple charges, namely possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace, carrying a concealed weapon and breaches of court orders.
