A Winnipeg teen faces numerous charges following a string of events at St. Malo Provincial Park.
On Friday at 11 pm, St. Pierre RCMP attended the park after receiving a request for assistance from the patrol officers. Police were told that a male had been seen driving around the park dangerously while intoxicated.
Officers attended immediately and the driver was already detained by the patrol officers. The driver, a 17-year-old male from Winnipeg, failed the approved screening device and was served with an immediate roadside suspension. He was released on scene.
Then, Saturday morning at 12:55 am, patrol officers requested the assistance of RCMP regarding the same 17-year-old male. It was reported that the youth had assaulted two patrol officers.
The youth was arrested for two counts of assaulting a public officer and two counts of uttering threats. He was taken into custody and released for a future court date.
St. Pierre RCMP continue to investigate.
