Lethbridge Man With Multiple Outstanding Arrest Warrants Arrested In Northside
LETHBRIDGE – On Aug 12, at 9:30 p.m. Lethbridge Police attended Winston Villa Apartments, on 13 Street North at 23 Avenue North, in an attempt to arrest 20-year-old Dylan Sokol, of Lethbridge, who had multiple outstanding warrants for his arrest.
Lethbridge Police Sgt. Trevor Sheppard, who was present at the scene, said that when police tried to arrest Sokol he fled back into the building and locked himself into his apartment.
Police reported that LPS attempted to negotiate with Sokol in hopes that he would vacate the building. When Sokol did not comply, he was then considered a “Barricading Person,” which resulted in a Tactical Team being called in.
There were no injuries to police or to Sokol and LPS was present at the scene for approximately two hours.
