The 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 55 complaints and calls for service during the past week.
Assault with a weapon
At 5:30 p.m. on April 5, 100 Mile RCMP were dispatched to a residence on Bakken Road in Forest Grove for a weapons complaint.
The male occupants of the residence had been drinking together for a period of time. An argument developed between them, which was witnessed by a third party.
At one point, one of the males drew a knife and allegedly put it to the throat of the other male. The third-party witness ran from the residence to call 9-1-1.
Upon arrival at the scene, police discovered the male suspect had left. He was located and arrested at a nearby residence.
The male victim had only minor injuries and he was unco-operative with investigators.
The 49-year-old male suspect was held in custody for a court appearance in Williams Lake on April 8. Charges of assault with a weapon and uttering threats are being recommended to Crown.
Drinking driver
On April 5, Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services members were conducting a road check for impaired drivers near 100 Mile House.
One of the drivers, who approached the check stop, had a strong smell of
liquor on him.
An approved screening device was utilized at the scene and the result was a fail. The driver elected to provide a second sample, which was also a fail.
The male driver was issued a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition at the scene. His vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.
