ABBOTSFORD — Police in Abbotsford allege a 29-year-old female assaulted police officers over the long weekend after she was arrested for possession of an imitation firearm near a homeless shelter.

According to a social media post, Abbotsford PD officers were dispatched Monday morning (Aug. 4) for the report of a female with a firearm near the Lonzo shelter. Police say the woman was arrested and found to be in possession of an imitation firearm.

During her arrest, police allege the woman assaulted the arresting officers by kicking them and spitting on them.

She remains in custody. Charges are being pursued in conjunction with the B.C. Prosecution Service.

That same day, AbbyPD officers were asked to attend Mill Lake after a resident reported a naked man in the bushes. When police arrived, the man became combative toward police. OC spray, also known as pepper spray, was deployed to take him into custody. The 33-year-old man is known to police as a known repeat violent offender; he now faces new charges for assaulting a police officer.
