A 23-year-old man was arrested for possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose after Norway House RCMP received a report of a person with a machete April 8.
Police were informed around 11 a.m. last Thursday that there was a group of males looking for a fight at a residence on Mission Island in Norway House. Officers headed to the address and saw a pickup truck with three men in it drive by near the airport and pull into the driveway of another residence.
RCMP approached the vehicle, spoke to the occupants and located the machete. The 23-year-old had a probation order to not possess a weapon and was also charged with breaching the conditions of a court order. A 24-year-old man in the truck was intoxicated despite being on in undertaking to abstain from alcohol. He was arrested for failing to abide by court-ordered conditions. The third man in the truck, aged 28, was arrested for mischief. All three have since been released pending future court dates.
No one was injured by the man with the machete, police say.
