PRINCE ALBERT — A 31-year-old Tisdale woman with a knife was tasered by the Prince Albert Police Service.
On June 3 at 7:40 p.m. officers who were conducting a proactive patrol of an apartment building on the 900 Block of Central Avenue in Prince Albert encountered in the hallway an emotionally distressed adult woman who threatened officers’ safety with a knife.
The officers gave verbal commands for the woman to drop the knife which she refused. An officer deployed his taser and successfully subdued the woman, who was taken into custody safely with no injuries.
Following the arrest, the woman was handcuffed and transported to hospital by ambulance. The woman was taken to hospital for assessment and has since been released into police custody.
The woman is charged with possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public peace and two counts of unlawfully assaulting a peace officer.
