A Winnipeg man is facing a whopping 18 charges after an armed and barricaded incident in Dauphin, Manitoba RCMP say.
Officers were called to a home on Jackson Street in Dauphin just after 10 p.m. Sunday, where they say a suspect had barricaded himself inside and wasn’t letting police check on the well-being of other people inside.
After forcing entry, RCMP said they arrested a 41-year-old man, whom they allege threatened a 21-year-old woman and held a man, 36, at gunpoint. Neither victim was seriously injured in the incidents.
