Manitoba Teen Bail
The teenage girl at the centre of an anxious scene at Portage and Main last month is free on bail.
The 17-year-old was arrested July 19th while wandering the intersection in midday traffic, wearing a kabuki mask, holding a rose and waving what was later found to be a replica firearm.
In a confrontation captured on video by several witnesses, a police officer was able to tackle her, putting an end to the bizarre incident. She is facing six charges, including causing a disturbance and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
She must stay with her father and meet a mandatory curfew while on bail.
