Police in Brandon had to be on their toes while responding to a disturbance earlier this week.
Brandon Police Service (BPS) got a report of a disturbance at a residence around 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The caller said an intoxicated man was destroying property and refusing to cooperate when others tried to de-escalate the situation.
When police arrived on the scene, the man became aggressive toward them and threw a full beer bottle at the officers, no one was injured. The media release from BPS states that officers then used a conducted energy weapon (Taser) to gain compliance.
The man was arrested and taken into custody until he was sober. He's been charged with Assault with a Weapon and Assaulting a Peace Officer, and will appear in court on February 23rd.
