Video of LPS officer responding to “out of control party” hits social media
LETHBRIDGE – A video that shows a Lethbridge Police Service officer involved in an incident at what LPS have called an “out of control” party Sunday, Oct. 28 has surfaced on social media.
According to Lethbridge Police, around 1:30 a.m. they were called to a party at La Cite des Prairies Hall in the 600 Blk. of 21 St. S. after a fire extinguisher went off inside and several fights broke out.
As the crowd was leaving, another fight broke out south of the centre. Approximately 100 to 150 people attended the party, according to police.
Lethbridge Police say while the first officer on scene was placing someone under arrest, a male tackled him from behind and knocked him to the ground. The man then allegedly tried to hold the officer down and take his Conducted Energy Weapon from its holster. The officer was able to maintain control of the weapon and the male fled the scene.
