Chilliwack man pepper sprayed during altercation with youths: RCMP

Corporal Kiener says video footage captured portions of the incident. However, the quality of the video was inadequate and insufficient to assist with identification.

In the meantime, the investigation continues, Cpl. Kiener said.

In another pepper spray-related incident during the week of Monday, June 1 through Sunday, June 7, Chilliwack RCMP responded to a report of a man allegedly holding what appeared to be a silver handgun. The man was also overheard saying that he had a gun.

A coordinated police response on Yale Road located the man nearby on a scooter. The man was arrested without incident. A can of bear spray was found in the area, but no firearm was located.

Corporal Kiener says the man was highly intoxicated and held in police custody until he was sober and “able to make better choices.”

In other notable incidents this past week in Chilliwack:

Police say a woman was arrested on Main Street after reportedly punching a security staff member after being removed from a nightclub. When police arrived and arrested the woman, she also assaulted a police officer during her arrest. Corporal Kiener says she was held in police custody until she was sober and no longer a risk to others. Charges are being recommended against the woman.

The above incidents were just some of the 798 calls for service that Chilliwack RCMP members handled from June 1-7.
