A man from Brandon is facing charges after police say he set off fire alarms and caused damage at a Swan River hospital.
On Monday, March 8th shortly after 8 p.m., RCMP responded to the hospital and located the suspect in the lobby. Officers arrested the man and removed him from the hospital.
RCMP say the man became increasingly uncooperative and violent while officers attempted to put him in the police vehicle.
The suspect was then transported to the Swan River Detachment and lodged in cells, where police say he continued his unruly and violent behaviour.
It was later learned that the suspect had entered one of the hospital rooms and accessed the ceiling, causing damage.
The 25-year-old man from Brandon remains in custody and is facing charges which include assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, activating a false fire alarm, and two counts of mischief under $5,000.
