PRINCE GEORGE —A 47-year-old Prince George man is facing charges after Prince George RCMP allege he threatened two City of Prince George bylaw officers in a parkade in downtown Prince George this past Saturday at 1:15 p.m.

“The man was said to have threatened the officers both verbally and with blunt objects,” says Cpl. Craig Douglass. “Frontline officers attended and located the suspect a short distance away. Initially the man provided a false name. Once he was positively identified, he was found to have an arrest warrant out of Quesnel and was believed to be breaching both his probation and conditions of a previous release.”

Douglass says George William Alexis has been charged with the following Criminal Code offences:

• Two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose
• Two counts of uttering threats to cause bodily harm
• Obstructing a peace officer
• Failure to comply with probation
• Failure to comply with release order

Police say Alexis has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday Aug. 26.
