Eric Wildman is already facing multiple charges in Manitoba and now, he's facing attempted murder charges after allegedly firing at Ontario Provincial Police Officers before his arrest.
Wildman was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant after the disappearance of his neighbour Clifford Joseph who was last seen in his home in the RM of St. Clements on June 7.
Late last week, OPP officers ultimately executed a warrant at a home in Belleville, Ont., where they were met with gunfire.
