LITTLE RED RIVER – A woman pointed a firearm at Prince Albert RCMP officers when they went to Little Red River to investigate a report of a robbery at a home.
RCMP say that at about 1 p.m. on Jan. 14, an altercation occurred between two females and a male at a home. During the fight, a male pointed a firearm at one of the females and stole a sum of cash from her.
Prince Albert RCMP responded immediately and when they arrived, they saw a woman standing in the driveway holding a firearm. She pointed the firearm at the officers in the police vehicle. The firearm wasn’t discharged and she went back inside the home.
Officers contained the residence, then arrested five people inside. They located and seized a firearm in the residence.
“Our officers face numerous different threats and forms of endangerment on a daily basis, and having a firearm pointing at you while you are responding to an emergency situation is one of the most significant of those threats,” says S/Sgt. Stephen Hurst, the Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of the Prince Albert detachment.
“I am extremely proud of how the responding officers worked to bring the accused into custody – and restore community safety – despite the pressures they faced.”
Charlotte Cook, 19, from Little Red River has been charged with two counts assault on police officers with a weapon/causing bodily harm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon, possession of a prohibited firearm when knowing its possession was unauthorized, possession of a weapon contrary to a court order and failing to surrender authorization, and two counts of pointing a firearm.
Bradley Naytowhow, 30, from Little Red River has been charged with possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, two counts of assault with a weapon, two counts, of pointing a firearm, and unauthorized possession of a firearm/prohibited weapon or restricted weapon.
