UPDATE:

On Friday at 5:45 p.m., officers responded to a disturbance in downtown Dauphin; they attempted to speak with a 22-year-old male on the scene.

When the man was advised that he was being placed under arrest for breaching several court-imposed conditions, he ran back into his apartment complex and barricaded himself inside the apartment.

Officers did not pursue the 22-year-old as it was believed he was armed with a knife.

The suspect was believed to be alone in the apartment.

After several hours of communication with the suspect, he exited the apartment and was arrested without incident.

The 22-year-old male was taken back to the Dauphin Detachment and may face charges of Resisting Arrest, Failing to Comply with Release Order, Mischief, and Failing to Comply with an Undertaking.

The investigation in this case continues.
