One male youth was arrested Monday night in relation to a bear spray incident.

At approximately 8:20 p.m. on October 21, 2024, police were called to the 2600 block of Clarence Avenue South for a report of a bear spray incident. Initial call information stated someone discharged bear spray into a bedroom.

The Air Support Unit (ASU) began monitoring the area and located a group of people a short distance away from the initial call location. ASU directed members of Patrol to the location where officers were able to stop all but one of the suspects; the last one was located shortly after.

Upon further investigation, officers located bear spray believed to have been thrown into a yard. As a result, a 12-year-old male is facing charges relating to possession of a weapon, and concealing a weapon.
