The Salmon Arm RCMP were called to Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm campus on Jan. 18 after a man allegedly assaulted a female staff member by pulling her hair.
Police arrested Kinakin and took him to the local RCMP detachment. Once there, he spat on an officer while he was being processed, police reported in a news release.
Kinakin was released after he had calmed down.
The April court date adds to a number of court appearances for Kinakin in several communities.
