On Oct. 20, at approximately 6:20 p.m., Dauphin RCMP responded to an apparent road rage incident involving two motorists.
The incident occurred near the intersection of 9th Avenue and 2nd Street Southwest in Dauphin.
Officers learned a 31-year-old male driver was waiting at a four-way stop when an SUV pulled up beside him. The SUV driver pulled out a knife and made gestures that he was going to open his door.
The victim then left the scene.
Shortly thereafter, the same SUV was involved in another incident, this time on the 1400-block of Main Street South. RCMP learned a male suspect had gotten out of the SUV and acted erratically towards occupants of another vehicle. The suspect then returned to the SUV and was seen travelling towards a nearby hotel.
At approximately 7 p.m., RCMP located the suspect vehicle parked at the hotel. Officers then found the male inside the hotel and arrested him.
Dylan Smith, 30, of Valley River First Nation is charged with:
- Assault with a weapon; and
- Possession of weapon for a dangerous purpose.
He was released on a release order by a justice with a future court date.
