Resident allegedly pulls out gun in neighbour dispute about bears: Hope RCMP

During that time, RCMP also responded to another fight near the Hope arena, which saw one man run away after failing to comply with police directions in an attempted arrest.

A woman then intervened during the arrest and ended up causing injury to both herself and an officer.

No witnesses came forward to support the original assault allegation. Alcohol was believed to be a factor in the incident.

“Hope RCMP would like to remind the public not to intervene when police are carrying out their duties,” said RCMP. “Interference can create additional safety risks and may require officers to take action to protect both the public and police.”

Aside from fights, officers also tackled an attempted telecommunications wire theft near the Alexander Bridge, where workers repairing downed wires reported three suspects trying to steal before fleeing into nearby bushes.

RCMP identified all three as residents of other Lower Mainland communities and known to police, with one man initially trying to give a false identity before investigators learned he was wanted on outstanding warrants from elsewhere.

He was arrested and held for court.

Investigation into the attempted theft and subsequent damage is ongoing.
