CROWSNEST PASS, AB – A man has been charged following a stand off with RCMP.

At around 5:20 p.m. on October 2, the Crowsnest Pass RCMP were called out to an assault at a residence in Lundbreck.

It was reported that a man assaulted another man, fled the scene and then barricaded himself in another home, potentially with a firearm, according to RCMP.

Members from the Crowsnest Pass, Pincher Creek and Piikani detachments set up containment to wait for the arrival of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Police Dog Service (PDS).

After negotiations with the suspect were unsuccessful, the ERT was able to get into the residence, at which time the suspect fled. He was caught a short distance away by PDS.
