File 2025-9214

On November 1, around 1:30 am, RCMP were on patrol near the Best Western on Greig Avenue when an employee of the hotel and pub flagged down police. The employee requested police assistance with a woman who was intoxicated, unable to care for herself, and refusing to leave the hotel.

Police entered the Best Western where a fundraising event was being held and the woman was located and arrested without issue.

While the woman was being escorted out of the hotel and up a set of stairs toward the exit, a second woman ran up the stairs yelling at police. The second woman allegedly attempted to grab at the items on one officer’s duty belt. She was directed to step back but continued to be confrontational with police and was subsequently arrested.

The woman allegedly resisted arrest and assaulted the officers. During the struggle, the woman and arresting officers fell to the landing where she continued to resist arrest.

Additional bar patrons began closing in on police and out of an abundance of caution, additional officers were called for assistance. The second woman was taken into custody and escorted out of the hotel.

Following this, four more patrons at the event became confrontational with police, allegedly pushing an officer and refusing to follow directions to step back, while the rest of the crowd became increasingly hostile.

Six patrons in total were arrested and lodged in cells. One complained of shoulder pain and was released to BC Emergency Health Services care, while the rest were released once they became sober.

One officer suffered minor injuries during this incident. A Report to Crown Counsel is being prepared and will be submitted for charge assessment.
