Shopkeeper threatened with a needle

PRINCE GEORGE – According to Prince George RCMP, the days when monthly income assistance payments are made are among the busiest for police.

For instance, RCMP made 13 arrests and issued 14 violation tickets in the downtown last week on what they term “cheque day.”

Amongst those arrested, last Wednesday was an individual who is accused of threatening a staff member of a local business with an uncapped needle.

The individual has been remanded in custody and will appear in court on October 30th. Police have had more than 40 negative contacts with this person so far in 2019.
