On August 21, 2024, at approximately 10:30 pm, Cross Lake RCMP responded to a report of a motor vehicle collision on Sipiseek Road in the community.
Officers approached the vehicle, with three occupants, and observed open liquor inside.
The 38-year-old male driver, from Winnipeg, provided a false name and was placed under arrest for Impaired Driving and Obstruction.
As the officers were speaking with the two male passengers (both 30 years-of-age), also from Winnipeg, one of them pushed an officer as he reached for her radio and attempted to disarm her. No injuries were reported and the suspects were safely taken into custody.
A search of the vehicle led to the seizure of approximately 56 grams of a substance believed to be cocaine, over $13,000 in cash and other drug related paraphernalia.
The three suspects were transported to the Cross Lake RCMP Detachment where they remain in police custody at this time.
Cross Lake RCMP continue to investigate.
