On June 12, 2026 at approximately 7:25p.m., police were called to an apartment building in the 400 block of Maningas Bend for a report of an unknown problem. Dispatch information outlined that a male was assaulting his dog.

Officers arrived on scene and through their investigation, officers arrested a 53-year-old man. Officers also located and seized numerous firearms from inside the unit and learned the man’s Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) had been expired for multiple years.
