On November 7, 2026, Battlefords RCMP received a report of a possibly impaired driver on Highway #40 near North Battleford. 

Officers began patrolling and located the vehicle, which they observed to be driving erratically. They engaged their emergency lights and performed a traffic stop. An officer approached the vehicle and asked the driver to exit the vehicle. After some time, the driver became agitated and exited the vehicle.  

The officer told the male he was under arrest. The driver resisted and failed to comply with the officer’s requests. The officer deployed a conducted energy weapon and the male was arrested without further incident. 

Following a search of their vehicle, officers located and seized a BB gun that closely resembled a handgun and brass knuckles.
