A 40-year-old man has been charged in connection to a break, enter, and assault at a home Wednesday on the Muskowekwan First Nation.

When the call came in police were told a woman had left the residence and made her way to a safe location after sustaining minor injuries. She didn’t require medical attention.

Punnichy RCMP tried to gain entry, but say the doors were barricaded and a man began to throw several items at the responding officers from inside the home. He was seen to be pointing what appeared to be a possible firearm toward the officers.

After a short period of verbal negotiations, the man exited the residence and was arrested without further incident.
