AGASSIZ – Mounties in Agassiz say a woman was taken into custody for her own safety and well-being after police received multiple calls last week that a female was walking into traffic on Industrial Way in Agassiz.

According to a weekly recap from Upper Fraser Valley RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener, the incident happened on Tuesday, April 21.

Officers were able to locate the woman who demonstrated signs of intoxication. While RCMP members were attempting to ensure her safety as they attended, the woman became uncooperative and tried to flee the scene.
