On July 5, 2010 at about 6:45pm, Steinbach RCMP were informed that a male in his 40’s had threatened several people, assaulted a person and was waving a knife in a threatening manner.
 
The accused attended to the Steinbach Detachment where he was met by police. Upon arrest, the accused failed to abide by police commands which resulted in a confrontation between police and the accused in front of the Steinbach Detachment. The accused was safely arrested and taken into custody. 
 
49-year-old Michael Bryant of Marchand, Manitoba has been charged with assault with a weapon, uttering threats and possession of a dangerous weapon. Bryant has been remanded into custody and will appear in Winnipeg Provincial Court on July 7, 2010.
 
The investigation continues.
