Just before 10:30pm on November 20, 2010, officers from the Dauphin Municipal RCMP detachment were called to a 10th Avenue S.E. residence.
The caller reported there was someone banging and kicking at the door of the house. Officers attended and located an intoxicated male outside the house.
The man was arrested for causing a disturbance and then took off running. The officer pursued the male on foot and caught up to him a short distance away. At this time the male assaulted the officer by grabbing him. The male was quickly subdued and handcuffed.
20-year-old Christopher Lee LeClair of Dauphin has been charged with assaulting a peace officer, breach of probation and causing a disturbance and has been remanded in custody to appear in court in Dauphin on Tuesday.
