On the evening of August 17, 2013, two officers from the Dauphin RCMP Detachment were assaulted during the arrest of a male suspect.
The officers had attended a property on 3rd Avenue S.W. to investigate a report of a person being in violation of their recognizance. The officers noted the suspect to be intoxicated and placed him under arrest. As they were placing him in the police vehicle, the suspect started to resist. He deliberately spat in the face of one officer and kicked the second officer in the arm. Neither officer was seriously injured.
RCMP report that 31-year-old Aaron Stewart Abigosis of Pine Creek, Manitoba, has been charged with 2 counts of assaulting a peace officer and 4 counts of breach of recognizance. Abigosis has been remanded in custody to appear in Provincial Court in Dauphin.
